“Supporting our biggest friends”
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust works on Kenya's front line to protect threatened
wildlife and habitats. Hand raising orphan baby elephants who have lost their
mothers, with years of care, these babies are gradually reintegrated back into the
wild, with many going on to have babies of their own!
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust also operates Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary
Units, as well as Aerial Surveillance Teams, to keep wild animals of all kinds
safe.
