Josh (also known affectionately by his nickname 'George Bush'), was born on the 21st of November 2006 at the Way Kambas Elephant Conservation Centre in the south of Sumatra. Josh was born to the beautiful 'Gunturia', who was most likely in her early twenties when she gave birth to this intelligent little elephant. Gunturia joined the Elephant Conservation Centre herd after arriving from an elephant training centre in Palembang, as part of an elephant exchange program in December 2003. Josh has grown up to be a working elephant with a very important job. He works with the Elephant Response Unit which protects both elephants and humans from wild elephant incidents.


Please adopt Josh and help ensure he lives a healthy life helping protect people and elephants well into the future!
