Episode 23: Ramba (Part V)
Listen now
Description
In this week’s podcast, Kat and Scott talk about the challenges of managing the care of Ramba with her remote team in Chile. We cover the years of Ramba’s stay at Parque Safari in Chile, including the nonstop noise from the park’s Dinosaur ride next to Ramba’s enclosure. Additionally, we delve into the charming anecdotes of cute grandma Ramba, who knows exactly how to charm her doting care team.  At the same time, Global Sanctuary for Elephants, then still a very young non-profit organization, is in need of funds not only for Ramba’s care but also to build fencing to be able to welcome their first elephants and expand the habitat for Ramba. And if that isn’t enough, driving Ramba over the Andes is not an option, so she will need to be flown to Brazil. As we have learned over the past episodes, there is never a dull moment in the lives of Kat and Scott. We end the episode with Scott & Kat talking about current events at the sanctuary. 🎄🎁 Our new GSE Online Shop offers you a one-stop-shop opportunity for buying gifts for your favorite elephants, for yourself, and your friends and family.

Email: We’d love to hear from you [email protected] Who we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, currently home to six female Asian elephants.
