FREE AT LAST | Sheldrick Trust

Back in June 2016, this poor elephant was first sighted with a snare wrapped around her trunk, cutting deep into her skin. But, after many days spent in futile searching for her in order to provide treatment, she disappeared, wandering off into the vast park.
Finally, two months later, the DSWT/KWS Meru Anti-Poaching Team caught up with her among a herd of 70 elephants and we immediately mobilised the Sky Vet program to treat her. Flying a KWS Veterinary officer to the scene in a helicopter, watch the successful operation unfold and, free at last, this elephant get back up on her feet!
Learn more about the work of the DSWT/KWS Vet Units at: www.thedswt.org/sky-vets
Read about the operation in our update here:www.sheldrickw...
Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.

This brought tears to my eyes. For the pain the poor elephant must have been in and for the care rendered by the team and never giving up trying to find her. All angels don't have wings. Some have rotors (helicopters). God bless you all for what you do daily for these amazing creatures.
