The Brazilian Elephant Sanctuary in Chapada dos Guimarães has been granted permission to accept new elephants after a health risk assessment by authorities concluded there was no threat to animal health.
The Brazilian Elephant Sanctuary, located in Chapada dos Guimarães, has received renewed authorization to welcome new elephants, following a thorough examination by health authorities. The decision, made on Sunday, indicates that the sanctuary poses no health risks to incoming animals. Previously, in December, the facility was under a precautionary suspension which prevented new animal admissions due to concerns regarding health and safety protocols.
In a statement from the sanctuary’s management, they expressed gratitude for the reinstatement of their license and emphasized their commitment to maintaining high standards of care and transparency in operations. They reiterated their dedication to responsible practices, working closely with local authorities to ensure that all regulations are met in their ongoing efforts to provide a safe and nurturing environment for elephants.
This decision not only allows the sanctuary to continue its mission of rescuing and rehabilitating elephants but also reflects the rigorous scrutiny and accountability enforced by health authorities. With the renewed authorization, the Elephant Sanctuary can enhance its capacity to provide better living conditions for elephants rescued from captivity or adverse situations, ensuring their well-being and dignified care.
