Resilience

Global Sanctuary for Elephants mission is protecting, rescuing and providing safe spaces for captive elephants to heal physically and emotionally from the consequences of years of confinement and abuse. Captive elephant health and restoration requires enough space to allow elephants to get lost within their own world of intuitive exploration, the mental and physical stimulation empowering them to think, move and function as they would in the wild. Sanctuary is an emotionally nurturing environment that encourages them to communicate their fears and desires free from human expectation, and the incomparable companionship and support of a herd and knowledge they are not alone. GSE Brazil is the first and only sanctuary for elephants in South America, with guiding principle for elephants in Sanctuary: Respect, space, freedom, and unconditional love. GSE model of Sanctuary is the only true healthy option for elephants in captivity, and ultimately, in the wild.

Resilience, Restore and Redeem with Scott Blais

Global Sanctuary for Elephants founders joined hands with notable experts, including Joyce Poole, to work on a solution to the growing crisis for captive elephants in South America.  It has become apparent that captive elephant health, internationally, is in a state of emergency. Earth’s largest mammals live severely restricted lives in chains or extreme confinement with insufficient diet, and isolation from social groupings, leading to severe health complications, disease and psychological illness from extreme aggression, self-mutilation and withdrawal. Human awareness of the suffering of captive animals is increasing, creating a global desire for positive change. Developing an elephant sanctuary requires extensive knowledge of the natural life of elephants, how they live if left alone in the wild, understanding their social structures, diet, communication the meaning of natural elephant behaviors, postures and vocalizations
