An elephant from Pakistan named Kavan arrived at Siem Reap International Airport in Cambodia on November 30. This elephant left Pakistan on November 29 and was transported over by a cargo plane and truck, before being transferred into a local wildlife sanctuary.

Kavan, age 35, is a male Asian elephant. In 2012, following the death of his mate, Saheli, he became the only Asian elephant in Pakistan. The loss of his companion Saheli greatly affected his mental health, and he spent his years living in barren, substandard conditions. Kavan has since been named the “World's Loneliest Elephant” by the media.
