John Donne once said, "Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant; the only harmless great thing". The quote could be true because despite they are the largest animal that walk on the earth these days, yet they are the gentlest one if domesticated. To getting close with these big mammals, Kuala Gandah's National Conservation Centre is a place to go. This trip was held to enlighten the 'visitors with the green outfit' about how important to preserve what we still have.

Maybe we came here just for fun, but at least we learn something new about those animals that we never knew before. The important thing is we realize that some of those animals are in the brink of extinction. Now, it is on our own hand how we react on this issue as once they are gone, they're gone.
