Mato Grosso

The decision followed the death of the elephant Kenya a week earlier in December 2025. Ibama plans a joint inspection in the coming weeks.

Elephant Kenya died on Tuesday (16), five months after being moved from Mendoza's Ecoparque in Argentina to the Brazil Elephant Sanctuary in Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso. She was estimated to be 44 years old. The sanctuary claims she received top-level veterinary care but refused to release autopsy reports.
