Rescue of Orphaned Elephant Nyambeni | Sheldrick Trust

Nyambeni is alive today because an ordinary man stepped up and went to extraordinary lengths to save her life. Her story began in Mula, a small village in the heart of the Meru landscape. On the morning of 9th May 2022, a suspicious noise captured a farmer’s attention. He followed the sound to the bank of a shallow, muddy ditch — where he was surprised to find a tiny elephant calf crying out to him! He made it his mission to save this helpless baby elephant who lay before him. Read Nyambeni's full story, and support her journey in our care, at: https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or... Elephants will traverse farmlands under cover of darkness, wary of the human presence, and remain constantly on the move. Fearful of what might happen if they stayed in the area for too long, the calf’s family was forced to leave their little one behind. 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.
