Bull Elephant Treated for Facial Spear Wound | Sheldrick Trust

Saving the world’s largest land animal takes coordination, determination, and skill; mixed with a little bit of luck. When this bull was struck by a spear and an arrow, his story could have taken a tragic turn. But thanks to a fortuitous sighting on the ground, followed by eagle-eyed tracking from the sky and a rapidly organised treatment, this was but a dark chapter that culminated in a successful outcome.

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.
