Rescuing an orphaned elephant | Sheldrick Trust

The SWT has successfully rescued and raised 250 orphaned elephants and no two rescues are ever the same. Our team's experience ensures they are ready for anything and always prepared to do whatever it takes to save the life of an orphan in need.See more rescues and read the stories of the elephants we have helped at https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphansEstablished 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.More Information about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust can be found on the website ▶ https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/Adopt an Orphan in Need ▶ https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphansFacebook ▶ https://www.facebook.com/SheldrickTrust/Twitter ▶ https://twitter.com/SheldrickTrustInstagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/sheldricktrust
