There are estimated to be just 350,000 elephants remaining in Africa but at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, we believe individuals matter. It's why we remain on call 24/7 to rescue any orphaned baby elephant, and why our DSWT / Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Mobile Vet Units will treat any injured elephant in need.
This World Elephant Day, Aug. 12, we wanted to share with you the personal stories of three elephants who remind us why it’s so important to protect this iconic species. After all, statistics like “one elephant killed every 15 minutes” have the power to shock us. But they can lead us to forget about the individuals behind the statistics, whose compelling stories remind us why we should act to protect them.
