The Federal Court in Rio de Janeiro has condemned three defendants for smuggling, mistreatment, and obstruction of environmental oversight in the irregular importation of 18 giraffes from South Africa in November 2021. Four animals died shortly after arrival, and the 14 survivors are under Ibama's custody. Defenses have announced appeals against the ruling.

Mato Grosso's Environment Secretariat lifted the suspension, allowing the Elephant Sanctuary Brazil to receive new animals after a technical assessment found no health risks. The decision followed the death of the elephant Kenya a week earlier in December 2025. Ibama plans a joint inspection in the coming weeks.
