When Cher learned about Kaavan, an elephant who had been living in isolation and poor conditions in an Islamabad zoo for years, she sprang into action. The singer co-founded the nonprofit Free the Wild and used her platform to campaign for his release.
Thanks to her efforts and those of animal welfare groups, Kaavan was eventually moved to a spacious sanctuary in Cambodia where he could live a better life. Cher even traveled to greet him upon his arrival.
