For over thirty yearsthe incessant roar of the city was the only background of its existence. Pupy, an African elephant victim of illegal trafficking of wildlife, arrived in Buenos Aires in 1993, when the zoo They were still showcases of exoticism.
Since then he has lived in a small cement fence, at the foot of the temple of Vesta, in the current ecoparco of the city. Around her, one after the other, All his prison companions died. But yesterday, finally, that cage opened.
On April 14, in fact, between applause, tears and hugs, Pupy started a Travel of almost 4,000 kilometers to the Global Sanctuary for Elephantsin Mato Grosso, in Brazil. It will be the first inhabitant of the area reserved for African elephants: a natural habitat of over a thousand hectares, far from cement, noise, solitude.

Her enclosure partner died before reaching freedom
The transfer was not easy. It took more than two years To complete each step: authorizations, health protocols, sweet training. It was Pupy herself who dictated the times. In February he had refused to climb the transport fund. But a month and a half later, something changed in her. It was ready.
Her custodians greeted her while the box – tailor -made for her well -being – was raised by a crane and loaded on the truck that would take her far away. The memory of Kukythe last elephant with which he shared the fence, was in the air. Kuky died in October 2024, a few hours later the arrival of the authorizations for his departure.
That night, Pupy vocalized for a long time. As if he knew. As if he were saying goodbye. Since then he has remained alone. But also, perhaps, more in peace. Now, in its new world, other well -known faces await it: Maratransferred from the ecoparch in 2020, e Guillerminearrived from Mendoza with the mother Pochathen died in the sanctuary. Also Kenyaanother African, will soon reach her.
That cry of freedom that began in 2015, when a group of activists symbolically embraced the zoo, today it becomes reality. Pupy came out. His steps on the red earth will be slow, but safe. It will no longer be an attraction: It is a free elephant.
