Recently she caught fans' attention for her action on animal rights after the “Dark Lady” crooner joined talent agency CEO Mark Cowne through their charity organization, Free the Wild.

FREE THE WILD

It all started with the singer’s encounter with a 36-year-old elephant, Kaavan, from Pakistan. It was dubbed the world's loneliest elephant and was said to have been in a dire condition before Cher set out to save him.

On social media, the #freeKaavan trend became viral, and Cher set out to transfer the animal to a safer place in Cambodia. The elephant initially resided in an Islamabad Zoo where he lacked exercise and suffered from cracked nails.

KAAVAN’S STORY

Following the death of Kaavan’s keeper in 2012, he became the world's loneliest elephant. The animal was said to have been a gift to Pakistan 35-years-ago from Sri Lanka.

However, the Zoo where he was kept was in bad condition, and it was also closed down. This led to the trend on social media where Cher and her team found the story and made a trip down to Pakistan on a rescue mission.
