Helping give orphaned baby elephants a second chance | Sheldrick Trust

Grateful to our friends at National Geographic Channels for producing this film to highlight our elephant orphans' project, which offers infant orphan African elephants a second chance.

The poaching of elephants for their ivory is escalating, fuelled by a demand from China and the Far East, where ivory is seen as a symbol of wealth and power. The DSWT is coming to the aid of more and more victims of this trade, baby elephants that have witnessed the killing of their mother for her ivory tusks. Please share this video and help us by fostering one of the elephants in our care. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

Established 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.
