Without exaggeration, this is the first happy wildlife doc I've seen this year. Every other story is of desolation, ruin and despair (caused, as always, by us). So I was absolutely thrilled to stumble on this rare gem. Mad props to the Trust for creating this singular elephant resort and much respect to the dedicated, loving men that rear these orphans. What a wonderfully fulfilling life - they must have such inner peace. I'd love to do this work myself but that, alas, is not my path. Thanks for making such a lovely film.

[@LucyLightHernandez]

Why would you be so thrilled. Maybe you were seeking something to watch ou of the sadness all around? There are so many reports and photos online and also videos of thousands upon thousands of elephants killed by terrorists just for killing, for poaching, and for meat. They also have a photo and video of piles and piles of dead elephants in Afghanistan, and in Africa. All of the whales are in very low populations. Few people know there are global killings of all animals happening, and in the USA it is the birds.

[@cher8005]

Um, ya. Exactly. It was a delight to see a video where it wasn't all about the killing and exploitation of these glorious creatures. Every other video tells that story - one that must be told and re-told. But this rare gem of human kindness is heart-warming and thus worthy of praise. Nothing more, nothing less.@@LucyLightHernandez

[@Icarus_II]

@@LucyLightHernandez This doc makes my soul happy. I remember in my early 20's in the 80's when I saw the cover of a National Geographic with an aerial view photo of a slaughtered elephant herd. Only the faces of the elephants were missing. There were young elephants and babies just standing by the others. That one moment changed my life. It's too bad that it took so long for sanctuaries and orphanages like this one to come about. Poaching in Africa has been reduced, and we are no longer in danger of wiping out elephants. It's still happening elsewhere, but younger generations can see at any time what horrible things are being done to wildlife, so curbing it doesn't take decades.

[@angelciunci5409]

[@yaki-moon]

I agree. It's for a big part indoctrination, there's an agenda behind it. With this I won't say that there are not awful things happening, but the focus is always on that. Same like in the daily news, it's on and on about negative things, while there is hardly space for positive news. This is causing a negative mindset which is consequently leading to more negativity. While positive news lead to a more optimistic mindset from where it's much easier to get to a general more positieve outcome. We all want the same, but walk another path to get there❤

[@earllutz2663]

You are such a awesome place and i will definitely be donating and telling everyone about Sheldrick!!! Thank you all for doing what you do for the elephant's!!!

Dame Sheldrick learned orphan elephants can die from a broken heart bc she went to her daughter's wedding & calf thought abandoned again. So she changes care takers so they dont just bond with 1. She also had to develop milk that was similiar to their moms. She is my hero or as Maya Angelou would say: SHEro. All of this was with trial & error & LOTS OF LOVE💜🐾💜 ELEPHANTS LOVE & GRIEVE I believe more than humans & I guess forgive bc look what humans have done to them & pollute earth!
