Orphaned baby elephants in Kenya are fortunate for the existence of Dr. Daphene Sheldrick’s breakthrough techniques on how to successfully rear and care for new-born and injured baby elephants that are less than two years old as still nursing. As well as The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a non-profit organization, dedicated to raising funds and training dedicated Elephant Keepers to nurture and care for these babies through the years it takes to finally re-establish them “living free amongst their wild peers in Tsavo National Park”, Kenya.
