An entire year of the life of orphan elephants is captured on film, where we witness them grow up and be reintroduced into the wild. The film showcases the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and its breeding and rehabilitation station for elephants. In two episodes, we are taken to two unique locations in Kenya and tell stories of the breeding, release, and conservation efforts of elephants. We use never before seen footage that perfectly shows the coexistence of elephants and the highly emotional relationships that elephant groups maintain. The result is a spectacular look at the wonderful animals and their habitat.

I think that you should include a link to the sheldrick wildlife trust website in your description under the video or this pinned post. They are a non profit organisation that rely on donations to fund their work. They have an orphans project that people can donate to and people can adopt a baby elephant.

I wish that people here could teach the others in India how to co exist with these beautiful magnificent creatures. They capture and cage them, keeping them in chains initially starved to force dependence using bull hooks as a solution to the habitat fragmentation due to expanding coffee plantations. I understand that farmers are concerned and scared, however, this does not seem like a humane healthy respectful long term solution. Many don’t realize that their morning cup of coffee cones at a very high price of elephants. This documentary is beautiful and a way to display how wonderful these creatures truly are ❤️

I despise elephants along with this warped organization, but I wiant to say THANK YOU so much to you and your foolish donors. No doubt you will be responsible for an overpopulation crisis with a lot of property damage, ecosystems destruction, human casualties when the babies grow up to be enormous adults in a shrinking habitat. etc. When the government has no choice but to issue hunting licenses We will be there for the once in a lifetime hunting and will have you and your donors to thank.

It’s never easy for a baby elephant to lose their mother nor is it easy for SWT to adjust them to a routine where they learn how to be an elephant as each orphan is different in personality, age and their background stories. But the care, patience and devotion to each orphan never wavers and the dedication of SWT and team is assuring that the orphans will thrive and that elephants will continue to live in the wild. Love you, SWT - and thank you. ❤️🐘❤️

A recent report described the effect that 9 species, among which the African elephant, could have on sequestring CO2 from the atmosphere.

[@grioulaloula8594]

The death of Elephant Orphan Dida came as no surprise to us, but nevertheless that does not change the fact that it was still the loss of a loved and treasured Elephant, rescued from a manhole on the main Mzima Mombasa Pipeline in September 2007, at the age of just 1 month. Having been with us for five years, carefully and lovingly nurtured every day of her life, we all knew, and loved her unconditionally, so her death has been particularly painful for all of us, and especially her orphan peers and her dedicated team of Keepers.

All babies are the same regardless of their parents species... they need to be loved, fed, and nurtured to grow and live the life they were predestined to live... while these baby elephants will always remember their mom and their family... they will also live and remember their keepers and their new herd forever...
