About The Gallery
Kaavan, a 36-year-old pachyderm dubbed the “ world’s loneliest elephant ” after languishing alone for years in a Pakistani zoo was greeted on his arrival in Cambodia on November 30 by chanting Buddhist monks and was then sent on his way to a wildlife sanctuary. A 1985 gift from Sri Lanka to Pakistan, Kaavan had been living in the Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad with his partner Saheli, who died in 2012. The zoo fell on hard times and conditions got so bad that a court in the Pakistani capital ordered the zoo closed in August.
