The last elephant in South Africa’s national zoo was just released back into the wild after 40 years in captivity
Captured in 1984 when he was just two years old, Charlie the elephant was taken to a circus in South Africa and trained to perform tricks until the early 2000s when he was moved to the country’s national zoo.
Out of concern for his health at the zoo, animal welfare groups have been advocating for his release back into the wild — and in a “historic event,” after 40 years in captivity, he was just released at the Shambala Private Reserve in South Africa.
The reserve is famous for reintegrating animals back into the wild, has a thriving population of elephants, and has veterinarian and behavioral experts who will closely monitor Charlie. He is reportedly already showing signs of a successful release.

Renewable energy production is on track to beat coal for the rest of the year in the U.S.
Earlier this year, wind-powered electricity generation outpaced coal for two consecutive months in the U.S. for the first time in history — in March and April of 2024.
In March, wind turbines produced around 45.9 terawatt-hours of electricity, while coal produced 38.4 TWh. Similarly, in April wind produced a record 47.4 TWh, while coal fell to 37.2 TWh.
Altogether, power generation from renewable sources surpassed coal in the U.S. for the first time in 2022, but never consistently — until now. Data shows renewables have fully outpaced coal and will do so for the foreseeable future.
