  • Summary

  • This week we take a detour to talk about the individual recovery stories of our elephants. Sparked by comments from supporters on videos of Guillermina and her interactions with the other elephants, Kat reminds us that, just like with humans, no recovery from trauma is linear or the same. We must not deny each elephant their right to recovery, however different and complex it might be.

    Guillermina was born into one of the most deprived environments Kat and Scott have ever witnessed in their careers. We talk about how far she has come in the past two years at the sanctuary, and her trauma of not only living in a concrete pit for 22 years but also losing her mother after only 5 months at the sanctuary.

    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.

Profile Image for R. Bostwick

How individual they each are and how tuned in to them you guys are.

I enjoy hearing how each of them have their own personalities and deal differently from the other. It’s exactly how humans are and each species. That’s how God made all of us. I love the way Nadia (spelling?) says Guille, I like it much better then our American accent says it. Off subject, I’m sure you don’t get much spare time for TV but if you ever get the chance to watch on Netflix, Chimp Crazy. It can be hard at times to watch but it’s worth it and I know you both can appreciate it. I already don’t to you but am thinking of helping out the Chimp Sanctuary. Can you please tell me how I can check them out to make sure they are reputable and good to the Monkeys? The 1 thing I didn’t like is they sell paintings the Chimps have done. I don’t believe thats good for them, right?
