Raja, an Asian Elephant who born on Dec. 27, 1992, is set for a move to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in an effort to help save the species from extinction.

The move was recommended by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Asian Elephant Species Survival Plan (SSP). Michael Macek, Director of the St. Louis Zoo, joined Stuart McMillian to discuss the relocation likely taking place in late 2024 or early 2025
