Kaavan is a male Asian elephant who was born in 1985. On November 30 2020, the now famous Kaavan, dubbed ‘the loneliest elephant in the world’ arrived at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. Rescued from deplorable conditions at the Islamabad zoo in Pakistan, he was flown to CWS thanks to the support of singer, Cher, Free the Wild, Four Paws, together with many other people and organizations who campaigned for Kaavan’s freedom. Kaavan is the first bull elephant to live at the sanctuary and is enjoying his new life exploring and foraging in his jungle home. Kaavan has now started the next chapter of his life – one with freedom, love and kindness.

Di-Ploh was born in 1980. After a life in the logging industry, she was rescued from Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia in February 2017. It took her a while to adapt to her new life at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. When she first arrived she took very long excursions and would sometimes walk beyond the safety of our extensive boundary. She has since settled into her home and happily spends her days wandering and foraging in the jungle. Di-Poh is quite an independent elephant and is generally calm and graceful. At this time, she is solitary in nature, and is enjoying her more natural life at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary.

Sarai-Mia was born in 1992. She was rescued from logging in Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia in February 2017 at the same time as Di-Ploh. On arrival at CWS, Sarai-Mia met Arun Reah, with whom she became best friends. These 2 elephants were never far apart and displayed dramatic antics and vocalizations whenever they lost sight of one another in the forest. Sadly, Arun Reah passed away in September 2021, leaving her friend in mourning. Sarai-Mia is now enjoying a peaceful life, freely roaming throughout the sanctuary during the day, foraging on natural vegetation. She is full of energy and can often be very vocal when she is in a good mood.
