Episode 49: New Elephants on the Horizon (Kenya and Pupy)

This GivingTuesday, we shared the exciting news that the importation permits for female African elephants Kenya and Pupy are finally in our hands, and we are taking the necessary steps for their relocation from Argentina to Brazil. To celebrate, we’ve paused our timeline on Pocha and Guillermina to introduce you to the first African elephants we will welcome to sanctuary.

Kat and Scott discuss what they know—and what’s still unknown—about Kenya and Pupy, as well as how African elephants differ significantly in character from Asian elephants. This often leads to their behavior being misinterpreted as aggressive by zookeepers when they are simply more high-strung than their Asian counterparts.

Exciting times lie ahead as everything is set in motion to bring these majestic ladies to their new home in Brazil!

Thank you for being part of our herd this year. Wishing you a wonderful New Year’s Eve—whether you fall asleep before midnight like Scott or burn the midnight oil like Kat. We can’t wait to connect again in 2025!

Who we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, currently home to six female Asian elephants.
