A rundown Pakistan zoo once home to what was dubbed the "world's loneliest elephant" and notorious for housing animals in cramped concrete enclosures has launched an ambitious $7.5 million makeover plan. 
Animal rights activists had campaigned against the plight of Islamabad Zoo's biggest attraction -- a 35-year-old bull named Kaavan, the last remaining Asian elephant in the country -- who had lived alone since the death of his mate eight years earlier.
