The world’s loneliest elephant ‘Kaavan’ has recently flown from Pakistan and shifted to a Cambodian sanctuary.
Kaavan the elephant has spent the last 35 years in Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad, Pakistan, but he’s now moving to a brand new home in Cambodia.
Described as the “world’s loneliest elephant”, Kaavan has entertained crowds at the zoo for over three decades.
The elephant was first brought to Pakistan in 1985 as a gift from Sri Lanka when he was just 1.
Like many other animals in captivity, Kaavan has been poorly treated at the hands of the people who look after him.
Recently the pop artist Cher visited Pakistan. During her visit, she also met the Prime Minister of Pakistan, in which she expressed her goodwill and appreciation of the Pakistani government to shift Kavaan from Karachi to Cambodia.
Popstar Cher and Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Imran Khan can be seen in the picture below:
“Just came from meeting to thank Prime Minister Imran Khan for making it possible for me to take Kaavan to Cambodia,” she tweeted. Cher also announced a documentary about the elephant’s journey to freedom would be released next year.
