On World Elephant Day on August 12, Wildlife SOS is reminding the world that rescuing India’s captive elephants is only the first step. The lifelong journey of healing requires constant innovation, collaboration and an unwavering commitment to exceptional care. As part of that commitment, Wildlife SOS has launched a long-term collaboration with McClure International Consulting (MIC), bringing together decades of hands-on rescue experience with internationally recognized expertise to further advance the care and welfare of rescued elephants.
