Rescued baby elephants take bottles of milk from their carers | Sheldrick Trust

Join our Keepers as the 13 rescued orphan elephants at the Nairobi Nursery head down to the dust bath area for their 3pm milk feed. Head Keeper Edwin introduces each of the elephants, explaining why it is they came to need our help, as well as sharing an insight into our work to protect them and support them on a journey that will ultimately see them living independent wild lives. 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.
