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.
