Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a non-profit organization focused on creating natural habitat sanctuaries to support elephants healing from past traumas and to foster herd dynamics that reflect true elephant social life. Based in Chapada Dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso, Brazil, the group aims to establish sanctuaries that provide animals with space and freedom to rediscover what it means to be elephants, emphasizing emotional and physical recovery through social structure and environment. The pilot project, Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, leverages the expertise of leading researchers and caregivers to care for former circus or zoo elephants, with the goal of expanding to include female African elephants once feasible. Operating in the non-profit sector, the organization concentrates on wildlife welfare and conservation-oriented care, addressing the needs of elephants deprived by captivity and seeking to demonstrate rehabilitative approaches for elephants in Latin America. A notable development cited is the initiation of a sanctuary on a large property in the target region designed to assess and mitigate health risks related to local flora and to implement suitable fencing and safety measures for elephant habitats.
