He is leaving isolated conditions at Islamabad Zoo

for a new life at a Cambodian sanctuary

His release comes after years of campaigning

led by American singer Cher

Kaavan was fed and had his nails trimmed

before being put in a custom-made crate

His handlers took over 440lbs of food

to get him through the 10-hour flight
