Rescue of orphaned baby elephant, Lima Lima, February 2013 | Sheldrick Trust

A female calf of about 1 year old, she was first seen on the 18th February 2013 and is believed to be an orphan of recent poaching that has taken place within Laikipia West. The calf was then reported to have turned up in the grounds of Loisaba Lodge two days later on the 20th and her presence was immediately reported to the lodge management by the gardener. The call was put into the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and a rescue was mounted. Read the full account at: http://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.
