Excellent rundown of life on an elephant sanctuary at a leisurely pace with loads of information about all things concerning elephants making the transition from captivity

You will learn about elephants that were removed from the captive entertainment industry (zoo’s, circus, etc.) to restart their lives at Global Sanctuary for Elephants in Brazil. If you are thinking about starting an animal sanctuary of any type, you will learn a little bit about what is involved by this professionally produced and brilliant work by everyone involved. Thank you!
I am always so enthralled as I listen to each episode. Knowing so much more about how GSE came into existence just leaves me in such awe. It is an honor to be able to support this most incredible work. Sanctuary is a place of miracles. I look forward to every episode, and I am so eager to hear the next. These podcasts are so beautifully done, and they express so much of the heart of Sanctuary. Thank you.

A thoughtful, ethics-centered podcast about elephants, sanctuary life, and welfare. Across recent episodes, the focus is on elephant sociality, grief, and complex welfare debates—contrasting sanctuaries with zoos and exploring space, autonomy, and healing in group living. The show consistently blends science, personal storytelling, and advocacy, often framing elephants as emotionally rich beings and urging systemic change in captivity practices. Its unique angle is generous access to sanctuary founders and caregivers, offering behind-the-scenes perspectives on sanctuary management, fundraising, and public engagement within a holistic animal-welfare lens.
