Overview
- Elizabeth, now based in Cape Town, said her foundation is preparing to expand the Khusela Endangered Wildlife Sanctuary into a facility that can orphan, rehabilitate, and hold animals for safe relocation.
- She serves as president of the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which she founded in 2018 to protect critical habitats and species in South Africa.
- Her move from the U.S. to South Africa in 2016 followed trips with conservationists and a decision to focus her life on on-the-ground wildlife work.
- The foundation has paid ranger and anti-poaching team salaries, supplied food for anti-poaching dogs, and supported a student’s ornithology doctorate.
- A blind black rhino her team has cared for over several years inspired the creation of the sanctuary, and she remains open to a Nadia-centered American Pie spinoff.
