The centre is a base for the Elephant Relocation Team, which began the elephant translocation program in 1974. The only one of its kind in Malaysia, it is dedicated in relocating wild elephants from their habitat areas which are constantly being encroached upon by plantations to other suitable and protected habitats throughout peninsula Malaysia such as Taman Negara.
