Featuring Global Sanctuary for Elephants co-founders Kat and Scott Blais, we’ll have in-depth discussions on sanctuary life, the ethics of captivity, physiology, and behavior. Hosted by Nadia Mari of Elephants in Japan, the wide-ranging, intimate conversations are sometimes fun, often frank, and offer listeners insight into the power of healing.

For the love of elephants!

You will learn about elephants that were removed from the captive entertainment industry (zoo’s, circus, etc.) to restart their lives at Global Sanctuary for Elephants in Brazil. If you are thinking about starting an animal sanctuary of any type, you will learn a little bit about what is involved by this professionally produced and brilliant work by everyone involved. Thank you!

What an incredible journey!

I am always so enthralled as I listen to each episode. Knowing so much more about how GSE came into existence just leaves me in such awe. It is an honor to be able to support this most incredible work. Sanctuary is a place of miracles. I look forward to every episode, and I am so eager to hear the next. These podcasts are so beautifully done, and they express so much of the heart of Sanctuary. Thank you.

Must Listen for All Animal Lovers

What an amazing organization Global Sanctuary for Elephants is! Scott and Kat are amazing storytellers and hearing their journey in getting all captive elephants to sanctuary is fascinating. They are so unbelievably in tune with elephants, and having them share this with all of us is amazing. I could listen to them every day of the week. Don’t pass up this podcast!

Elephant Santuary Brazil

So happy they are doing this podcast. I have followed Scott for many years, and know a lot about eles, but this podcast really gets info to new level. I recommend this podcast to anyone interested in saving elephants, and really any animals. It really shows what determination and resilience you need to have to pull off a sanctuary successfully.
