Description

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi National Park does an amazing job of rescuing and raising orphaned baby elephants in Kenya. The keepers spend 24 hours daily with the elephants, sleeping with them at night. After 3-4 years the elephants are gradually reintroduced into the wild. They are fed a special formula- a substitute for their mothers' milk.
