Orphaned baby elephant Nabulu is rescued | Sheldrick Trust

Описание: She was sighted all alone by Oloisukut Conservancy Rangers in the Mara, estimated to be under two years of age, the rangers informed KWS and proceeded to monitor the calf for the next two weeks - in the hope that a passing herd would take her in. Sadly this never happened and, being under two, she was at serious risk to predation without the protection of a herd, and in need of milk.

So it was on 1st February that, having received permission from the head of the KWS, a rescue was mounted. The SWT/KWS Mara Mobile Veterinary Unit led on the rescue and by nightfall, this little girl arrived at our Nairobi Nursery.

She has been named Nabulu, which means 'growing' in the Maa language of the Maasai Mara.

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.
