Kaavan is a male elephant that Sri Lanka’s government under President J.R. Jayewardene gifted to Pakistan in 1985 as a baby. He lived at the Islamabad zoo, from 1990 with his partner Saheli, and alone after her death in 2012 – the last Asian elephant in captivity in Pakistan. After an international campaign involving FOUR PAWS and the singer Cher, he was flown to the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary in November 2020.
