    When a baby elephant is orphaned, it is sometimes because its mother and family have been killed by poachers in the ivory trade. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, Kenya rescues these orphans and reintegrates them back into the wild herds of Tsavo National Park. In addition to elephant rescue and rehabilitation the DSWT also funds anti-poaching units to patrol the park and conservation efforts to limit conflict between humans and elephants over natural resources.

    I grew up in Kenya and went to the orphanage about 20 times. Some of the stories are so upsetting but the work done by the workers is absolutely brilliant!

      I can’t believe poachers kill the mother elephants to capture the baby’s and if the officials are very lucky to rescue the baby elephants, they can’t return them back into the wild because they can’t survive without their mothers it’s helpless.

    The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is amazing! I have adopted 6 orphaned elephants and have followed their growth from the orphanage in Nairobi to the integration units in other parts of Kenya, where they "graduate" to when they're a few years old. At those places, the babies (still milk-dependent) start exploring more in the wild and seeing wild elephants at the watering hole, etc. Ex-orphans living in the wild also come to these locations to visit! And many times they bring their own babies with them.
    I would love to be a keeper at this place.
