Our work
A sanctuary for elephants.
Pangea’s diverse natural habitat gives elephants the space to roam, graze, and socialise as they choose. Each elephant receives daily expert care following a tailored nutritional and veterinary husbandry plan.
Our management approach is endorsed by captive elephant experts and wild elephant biologists, and it is shaped by the experience of large-scale facilities worldwide that have successfully helped captive elephants adjust to more expansive environments. Where possible, we work closely with the former carers of each new arrival to ensure a smooth transition. Our facilities and standards of care exceed international zoo and sanctuary standards.
A haven for nature.
Thousands of years ago, elephants roamed the Iberian Peninsula and played a key role in shaping the region’s plant life. We have partnered with Mediterranean landscape experts to restore ecological integrity for the benefit of native flora and fauna as well as resident elephants. Areas degraded by eucalyptus and cattle will be regenerated to help nature recover.
Coupling the principles of rewilding with land management practices such as low elephant stocking densities will help to increase biodiversity, improve soil quality, reduce erosion and habitat degradation, and reduce wildfire risk.
An opportunity for learning.
Pangea is also committed to delivering world-class, actionable research on elephant welfare and ecological adaptation in partnership with leading academic institutions with support from students and volunteers. This will help us refine our own management practices and share insights with the wider communities of elephant sanctuaries, ecologists, and conservationists.
Provide a safe haven for elephants in need.
Help us create Europe's first large-scale sanctuary, where elephants can roam freely in an expansive, natural habitat, surrounded by their own kind.
