Brett Mitchell, Chair of the Elephant Reintegration Trust in South Africa, takes us behind the scenes, exploring the challenges and triumphs of rewilding captive elephants. This talk also confronts a difficult truth: to truly end elephant captivity, breeding must stop.

Witness a journey of healing, hope, and the enduring spirit of elephants finding their way back to the wild!
