Belgian elephant arrives at Pangea sanctuary

An elephant named Kariba arrived at the Pangea sanctuary in Alentejo, Portugal, becoming its second resident. The female elephant, originally from Zimbabwe, was brought from a Belgian zoo after 40 years in captivity. Upon arrival, she showed signs of adjustment, exploring her new environment and interacting with her caretaker. Plans are in place for her to bond with Julie, another elephant at the sanctuary. Pangea Trust aims to expand the sanctuary's area for elephants significantly in the coming years, with a total capacity for 30 animals and a projected investment of 15 million euros.
