Karachi, Pakistan – The city’s last two African elephants remain in captivity, while their sisters have already died, prompting concerns about whether the remaining pair can survive.
The two elephants are now the only representatives of their species in Karachi, after a series of deaths left them without any other herd members.
With the loss of their sisters, the elephants face isolation and the challenges that come with being the final survivors of a once larger group.
African elephants are classified as vulnerable to endangered, and experts note that captivity can present significant health, social and welfare issues for the animals, especially when they lack companionship.
The future of the Karachi elephants remains uncertain, and animal‑rights groups and the public are watching closely to see what steps will be taken to ensure their continued care.
