Resilience, Restore and Redeem with Scott Blais

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.
