Pangea will provide a compassionate solution for Europe’s zoos and circuses seeking a life-long home for elephants in need. Elephants rehomed to Pangea will have the freedom to roam within an expansive, natural habitat while receiving expert, individualised care under the guidance of captive elephant experts.

Support Our Nature Recovery Fund!

To ensure Pangea becomes a suitable habitat for rehomed elephants, we are launching the Nature Recovery Fund. Your support will help us create a healthy, balanced ecosystem that will benefit native flora and fauna, as well as the resident elephants we plan to welcome in late 2025.

Rewild An Acre of Pangea for £30

For every £30 donation to our Nature Recovery Fund, you can help us rewild an acre of land at Pangea. Make a donation today or donate as a gift to a family member or friend for a special occasion. All “Rewild An Acre” donations will receive a certificate, marking your contribution to this vital cause. To donate, visit: www.pangeatrust.org/rewild-an-acre

Kate Moore, Managing Director at Pangea Trust, commented:

"At Pangea Trust, we envision a sanctuary where elephants and native wildlife coexist and flourish. Our Nature Recovery Fund is the first step in making this vision a reality. By supporting this initiative, you are helping us create a thriving ecosystem that will not only benefit rehomed elephants but also contribute to the restoration of Portugal's natural heritage. We are immensely grateful for your support and excited to embark on this journey together."

Pangea’s landscape, blessed with rolling hills, dams and streams, grasslands, woodland, and scrub, has been degraded over many years by intensive cattle grazing and eucalyptus cultivation. By allowing nature to recover through a blend of rewilding and sustainable land management practices, we aim to increase biodiversity, improve soil quality, and reduce erosion and habitat degradation.

Join Us on Our Journey!

Nature recovery is just the first step in welcoming rehomed elephants to Pangea. If you would like to fund a specific item or donate towards a particular part of this project, such as fencing or vehicle support, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
