Thank you for the Super Thanks! For more information on how your support makes an impact, visit www.gpb.org/support
And now Mundi is there from Puerto Rico and already friends with Tarra and Bo after Mundi had been alone for 35 years at a zoo. Watching the 3 of them on the EleCam on EAI's KZread channel is addictive! Seeing elephants go about their day--grazing, swimming, and of course sleeping (oftentimes while standing up) is wonderful since we can watch and learn them without intruding in their lives like at zoos/circuses. Carol Buckley has built an elephant paradise in southern Georgia.
Mundi has arrived and is an African elephant. But she’s very sweet n special too! They are acclimating beautifully
8 more arriving in the not too distant future! Wow! Those are great news!
Elephants can see into your heart. ❤❤❤❤
This lady and her friends are doing a great service for the planet. Elephants in Tennessee, Florida and Georgia, not performing , but actually living their lives. She had me when she spoke of trust and gaining their trust and vice versa. I'm always worried for the planet and it's nonhuman inhabitants , plants and insects. I still worry but this lady is a beacon of hope for all the critters , plants and insects. They all had a place before humans arrived and maybe now they still will.

@@chadsimmons6347you should Learn from her, and start something to house those in need. Where can we find your effort to do so? Is there a webpage or can you direct us to the organization you’ve started to help those who sleep on the streets???
Elephant's are my favorite animal on earth. And I agree with the opinion of not letting a reporter's hour interview effect elephant's lives forever. I'd also like to thank Carol and ppl like her for dedicating their lives in saving animal's of all kind. May Carol and ppl like her always remain healthy & well.

Your true sentiments are revealed by calling them "ppl". You're a phony.
We know our female elephant "Mundi" from Puerto Rico just arrived to your Santuary. I hope she gets all the love possible and a great life quality with the others in those 850 acres of land for her to enjoy! ♥

Wow! I'm so jealous! But also very thankful for this incredible woman and her heart for these amazing elephants. What she's accomplished is beyond anything I have seen before. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks to extraordinary Carol Buckley, may captive elephants thrive in peace and liberty at ERNA
Elephants are my favorite . I was 3 years old when one gently picked me up and put me down. Everyone was frightened but I wasn't.
I watched a documentary in 1981 that changed my life. It was about elephant sanctuary in Tennessee. I have been donating watching and following all elephant sanctuary stories. I didn't really know you guys were in this situation. I remember Tara visiting dog's grave everyday would you broke my heart. I believe it would be best if the elephants have the least contact with humans. And I didn't realize that you used her in the circus.
Tarra loved her dog Bella, they were together all the time.
What an incredible woman with a huge heart of gold. Great video
These two are blessed to have such a place created for them! Thank you and God bless
Now they have a new member, Mundi…. Straight from a Zoo in Mayaguez Puerto Rico 🇵🇷…
What a sweet and beautiful lady. Elephants are the most graceful and adorable creatures on this planet. It makes me sick to think someone could be so cruel to them. I have loved them all my life and have met many. I have a collection of elephants items in my home that I’m running out of room. I am so glad to know that someone else cares so much for these majestic animals. Keep up the beautiful work you are doing we need more like you. You are truly a special and inspiration to all of us.
What a beautiful story Sharon. I remember in the 80s when they were they called it culling, it was really just killing elephants because they were too many of them. Now there are so few that they know might not survive. But again, thank you so much for doing this story.
Thanks for sharing this magnificent video! I'm eighty and remember my first visit to a zoo and I was horrified that animals were kept in cages and it greatly saddened me, and still does. We have so much to learn from animals, if only we would. I'm a Vietnam vet and thirty year Army veteran and got to see much of the world and it appears we universally tend to treat animals horribly. Best of luck to all of us!
Carol runs like a tremendous machine!!!!!!! Special admirable lady there.
Wish I could work, help, or volunteer at the Sanctuary or some place similar. Love animals, especially elephants 🐘 🐘 🐘

I love animals as well, they are special. However, I will mention that most humans casually have animals as meals. The cows, chickens and pigs love their lives and also want to live. Just my two cents.
My heart is so full watching this video ... May God continue to bless them 🙏🏾
THANKS for acceted Mundi
There is now an African elephant (from Puerto Rico) at EAI. !!!
Such a wonderful way to give of your time and life. Helping the elephants that have been done wrong by humans. This is a persons chance to get a ticket to Heaven. 🇺🇸👍🏻

I am completely mesmerized by elephants. I can't help it either, I just love them. I would give anything to work with them...feeding etc Beautiful sanctuary/Refuge, absolutely beautiful!!
ABSOLUTELY love this. In Africa I was fascinated by the elephants and their social groups. So intelligent
Thank you Carol Buckley .... and those who help you .remarkable and compassionate
I used to follow Carol and Tara when they were in Tennessee. It’s great to see them again. Tara is a big girl now. I really missed her.

Thank you so much😢😢❤❤❤
Soon Mundi will be arriving at the sanctuary a 41 year old African elephant.
Oh wow, I didn’t know about this place, I’d like to visit one day, my dad owned a service station in Roswell Georgia when I was a kid, my mom took my siblings and I there one day and there was a man with a pet elephant selling rides on the side of the rd right across the rd from my dad’s station, me and my brothers rode it at the same time, it was a gentle giant, I’ve never ridden on a horse but I have ridden on a elephant lol, this was in the early 80’s and you’re not likely to see that kind of thing nowadays, anyway I’d love to visit this place one day, I’m not that far away, Thanks For Sharing 🐘

The refuge is not open to visitors. It's a sanctuary that runs on elephant time..no riding ever ,no chains freedom to roam 800+ acres as they choose
Awesome job.
❤ Tarra, Bo and Mundi❤
is this where Mundi is going to be?
Great article from the Bronx NY.
I want to work there 🙏🏻💗🐘💗🙏🏻
Thank goodness for people who care for animals who give their all to them, they are wanting to shoot tigers for sport in certain places, honestly if people stopped going to these countries and made a stand their governments would change there ways. this was to lovely to watch thank you for sharing.
I love them so much wish I could work with them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤ILIVE ON CENTRAL FLORIDA, I WOULD LOVE TO COME UP TO GEORGIA TO SEE BO AND TARA AND ANY OTHERS TOU HAVE RESCUED FROM CRUEL CAPTIVITY..I LOVE TO VOLENTEER AS WELL❤❤❤❤
Personally I believe that Tarra was so settled at the sanctuary in Tennessee and was a friend and herd mate to all over many many years. She lost all that just because a human wanted her, the same human who had her doing circus tricks for some 20 yrs btw with all the fear based training that goes with it. Elephants are so forgiving, and stoic, sometimes too much so for their own good. I sincerely hope that Tarra isn’t missing her old herd mates too much.
Carol had lots of videos at her Tennessee sanctuary with every rescue she made.
Why did they insist on keeping Tara from Carol?? Happy endings at least. 😊

There were problems with how Carol treated some of the employees. Eventually she was asked to leave. My heart went out to Tara when Carol went to court & got Tara back. Unfortunately Carol was thinking of herself & not Tara. Tara had friends these last 11 yrs, she " knew " her home. Where her favorite grass grew, her tree to scratch on & the sounds her friends made . I'm shocked to see Carol in the pastures With the elephants!! Carol KNOWS from experience and the Death of a worker in Tenn that ALL contact with elephants should be from behind sturdy fencing!!! Honestly, I don't think I would trust her fencing if any elephant was having a bad day!! Elephants very quickly learn how to put a foot up or an ear to a metal fencing with certain cut outs just for the ability to take blood, have their feet taken care of or being able to do a trunk wash to test for TB. Also Carol wasn't wearing a face mask...elephants can & do catch TB & they have a form of Herpes which unfortunately a lot of babies have died from. In other words who knows what they can catch from us or vice versa. I understand that Carol loves Tara and that is sad. It's just not enough for Tara to lose her family & for Carol to create a sanctuary that is NOT as safe as TN, or Paws in CA or elephant sanctuary in Brazil.

@@debbiec2419 Tarra was bonded with her elephant family at TES and that for that reason is where she belongs. Imagine being uprooted from your home of 26 years that was created with you in mind? Tarra must miss her family in Tennessee so much. It is to bad that some people cannot let go when it is in the best intetest of the elephant. Sometimes love is letting go and this was one of those times

Oh I totally agree with you!! Tara had so many friends & memories at TES! Remember how she would spend part of her day with Shirley then go & visit her other friends? This is very strange that her company is a male ele. You wouldn't even see that in the wild, and now an ele from a zoo who I'm sure will live the space...but how will they interact?
Tarra used to live at the elephant sanctuary in Tenessee, Carol Buckley got her from the sanctuary.
ELEPHANTS ARE MY FAVORITE MAJESTIC GENTLE GIIANTS
Great video Phase Foundation, Ant
Hello Tara! I know you from the other sanctuary where you lived before coming to this sanctuary. I'm glad you are doing well. Hugs to Tara!
💜💜
I like this.
p.s. Maybe what you are looking for is not a word in English? Maybe it is... Squeak squeak with the sound of happy ear flaps and a contented deep happy rumble? Beautiful music! Thank you for loving.
Can people go there to see the elephant's from a distance without disturbing them?
Oh I wish Sissy from the Tennessee sanctuary was able to come with Tarra.

Do you walk alongside this elephants?? Can you handfeed?? 😊

Ive heard the trunk is like a finger or hand for them
What will happen to the Botswana elephants? Asking because obviously you are all doing such a great job. Can you help them? How can we help?
Thank you for sharing. How nice to take so much time to care for animals. Years ago I decided to stop eating animals and became an ethical whole food vegan. Although many humans "love" their dogs and cats, we also eat cows, pigs, and chickens without much consideration for their life and their sufffering. Although many humans love elephants and giraffe's, all animals want to live and not die at the hands of humans. Please consider switching to a whole food vegan lifestyle. For the animals, environment, and your health.
Why has the ele got something tied around its' tuskes ? How do u spade an ele? Has the eles got a pool & mud bath? Balls to play with?
She should of never had the poor Elephant perform tricks or be part of the circus industry. I think she knows that now.
Do you have volunteers???
I’ve heard rough things about the sanctuary in Tennessee so if denies its founder it should be shut down
Why/what are the tin/metal thingamajigs on Bo's tusk?
