The entry into a new life of the 'Lonely Elephant of the Earth'

The Dhaka Times Desk A morbidly obese elephant, once called the world's loneliest elephant, has been rescued from a miserable life in a zoo in Pakistan and taken to Cambodia!

Kavan the elephant's new life has been welcomed by pop star Sher, who has been paying for the elephant's legal team to be freed.

For almost 35 years, Kavan the elephant was kept in a dilapidated zoo. This elephant has been living alone since the death of its partner in 2012. The elephant is housed in a protected wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia, where many other elephant herds live under the open sky.

কম্বোডিয়ার একটি বিমানবন্দরে নেমে সাংবাদিকদের বলছিলেন শের, “আমি অত্যন্ত খুশি এবং গর্বিত যে সে এখন এখানে”। তিনি আরও বলেন, “সে চমৎকার, চমৎকার একটা প্রাণী”।

A veterinarian of FPI, an organization working on animal welfare in this regard. Amir Khalil said Kavan behaved like a regular traveler when he left Pakistan. He also said that he did not seem upset at all, but that he had eaten and slept quite a bit during the flight.

Cambodia's Deputy Environment Minister Neth Phekatra said his country was delighted to welcome Kavan.

তিনি আরও বলেন, “খুব বেশিদিন তাকে বিশ্বের সবচেয়ে নিঃসঙ্গতম হাতি থাকতে হবেনা। আমরা আশা করছি যে, স্থানীয় হাতির সঙ্গে তার প্রজননের ব্যবস্থাও করতে পারবো। এটি এই জাত সংরক্ষণের একটি প্রচেষ্টা হবে,”।

Meanwhile, before leaving for the hermitage, the Buddhist monks gave Kavan bananas and melons to eat and blessed him with prayers and holy water. Cavan was originally freed after a years-long legal battle. The fight was led by rights activists from FPI and Sher, who is a co-founder of Free the Wild, a wildlife conservation organization.

Cavans have long entertained visitors at Islamabad's Marghazar Zoo. After the death of his partner in 2012, Hati Cavan became essentially a loner. Then due to the isolation and environment of the zoo, the elephant suffered from some kind of mental illness. His legs were always shackled and he was overweight.

It should be noted that Sher appointed a team of lawyers for Kavan's release after such a situation was revealed in the media. When the court ordered his release last May, he called it the best moment of his life. The zoo was later ordered closed for renovations.
