The last circus elephant in Portugal has arrived at Pangea

Help us give our first elephant Julie the life she deserves!

Portugal’s last circus elephant has taken her first steps as the very first resident at Pangea Elephant Sanctuary. After leaving Africa nearly 40 years ago, Julie is now exploring her new surroundings at her own pace, across acres of natural habitat, with the expert care she needs.

We have been working towards this moment for years – thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey and helped us get here.

Now the next chapter begins. Your support can give Julie the daily care she needs.
