KAAVAN’S STORY   ✈️🐘🌏

Kaavan, recently recognized globally as "The World's Loneliest Elephant" after his partner Saheli died in 2012, has been rescued.

Tragically, Kaavan was captured from the wild in Sri Lanka and gifted to Pakistan to demonstrate a positive relationship between the two countries. Upon arrival in Pakistan, Kaavan was transferred to the Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad. 

Activists around the world became aware of the plight of Kaavan in 2015 after petitions and news articles began to circulate about the dire conditions in which he was languishing in. It was reported that he was bound in chains for over two decades.

The footage and images of Kaavan's plight went viral and captured the heart of American popstar Cher. Activists led by Cher: FreeTheWild, Four Paws, Mr Sok Hong & David Casselman of CWS and the persistence and unity of many passionate voices worldwide fought for 5 long years to free Kaavan from the zoo and bring him to sanctuary.

In May 2020, the Islamabad High Court ordered the immediate release of Kaavan to Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary, however his rescue was delayed until November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 29th November 2020 Kaavan’s crate was loaded into a Russian cargo plan to be flown to Cambodia with a technical stop in Mumbai, India.

Kaavan arrived at Siem Reap airport the following day and was transferred by road to his forever home at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary.

Kaavan will now start the next chapter of his life with freedom, love and kindness thanks to all of you!
