The art of rescuing elephants orphaned children in Kenya

Leave a Comment
The world day of the Elephant was this week and to mark the date the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a Kenyan organization that is dedicated to the rescue of orphaned elephants, disclosed several photographs which show the backstage of the Organization and the efforts made by attendants and volunteers to give a new life to the Cubs.

About 35,000 African elephants are slaughtered every year divided the prey of ivory. As such, there are many small elephants that are orphans and who require care to survive.

Elephant populations suffer not only losses due to illegal hunting, but also due to habitat destruction and human conflicts. Thus, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust travels all over Kenya to rescue little orphans.

The pictures, released by the organisation, and published by the Guardian, offer a unique vision of the efforts and difficulties that volunteers and attendants face to reach the animals and carry us to the crèches of elephants in their centers.
