  • Summary

  • Join us as we talk about Pocha and Guillermina, the mother and daughter rescued in May 2022 from the Mendoza Eco-Parque in Argentina. Kat and Scott recall their first encounters with these two elephants and the challenges of preparing them for their journey to a new life at the Elephant Sanctuary Brazil.

    Amidst the zoo's transformation into an eco-parque, Scott highlights the challenges of training two elephants who had never been separated before, while also navigating the obstacles posed by bureaucratic hurdles. Once again, the GSE team rose to the challenge, paving the way for this double rescue while also managing to treat a tusk infection in Kenya, the zoo's female African elephant.

    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.

I found you by hearing Pocha and Guille’s story

I watched you bring them home and discovered all about the Sanctuary. I was so impressed I adopted those 2 for my niece’s (she’s an adult) birthday and she loved that. So hearing about them again is great but also sad because I’d never felt close to animals online like this before and then Pocha dying was a shock. It sounds like you had signs she had something wrong. Ty again for all you do.
I miss the ability to mark this finished when done, is that you or Audible?
