An article at USATODAY.com seems to favor providing elephants with more space to exhibit their natural behaviors. The piece acknowledges new information about elephant intelligence in the article and extensive sidebar, including video of recent experiments with placing a giant mirror in an elephant exhibit, during which elephants Maxine, Patty, and Happy investigate the mirror and check themselves out.There is also a poll, which asks where elephants should be kept. There is no option for "in the wild," but you can go vote for sanctuaries, as opposed to zoos. When I voted, sanctuaries were ahead 50-40, and 10 percent thought they needed more information.
