Saving a Giant | Sheldrick Trust

Taking place in June 2020, it was a matter of life and death for this injured male elephant who looked in grave health and urgently needed help.

Thankfully roaming eyes on the ground in the form of KWS rangers, the SWT 24 hour Operations room and the SWT Air Wing made it possible to fly a vet to the scene from tens of kilometres away, treat his wound and administer antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, giving him the best chance of survival. All in the space of a few short hours.

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.
