Jackson

49 Years old | male | African | wild
International Conservation Center (Fairhope, PA)

Jackson is a male African elephant born wild in Zimbabwe in 1976. Like so many of his generation, he began his life in freedom—in a family herd, surrounded by relatives, roaming a vast, complex landscape that shaped every part of who he was. That life was stolen from him when, in 1978, humans captured and exported him to the United States. He was two years old. Now nearly 50 years old, separated from his original family, Jackson is confined at the International Conservation Center, where he is deprived of meaningful choice and used in a breeding program that perpetuates suffering for future generations of elephants.
