KAHANI MERI is a song based on the true story of Kaavan, the world's loneliest elephant.

After spending 35 years of his life in chains at Islamabad Zoo, on November 29, Kaavan is leaving for a sanctuary in Cambodia. Soon he will be roaming free with three other elephants in a wildlife sanctuary, but around one million animals would still be locked in over 10,000 zoos across the globe.

KAHANI MERI is our first in-house endeavour at UMANO.ORG to highlight the story of animal exploitation, primarily focusing on the plight of millions of animals worldwide in captivity. You can play your part to become a voice for those who have no voice.
