Elephants are nature's gardeners.
Rokka is busily browsing on Neltuma juliflora, an invasive species introduced to Tsavo decades ago to reduce erosion and provide fodder, but it has overtaken many native plants in some areas. With full grown adult elephants consuming up to 150kg of food a day, their dietary choices are another way our orphaned elephants are helping restore balance to the landscapes in which they roam.
There's more to Rokka than the food she eats, find out for yourself at: swt.bio/rokka

In 2017, Emoli’s life hung by a thread. A victim of drought, he was found weak and emaciated, but thanks to the swift action of the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Veterinary Unit, hope was not lost. Placed on an IV drip and transported by SWT helicopter to the Nairobi Nursery, Emoli was given a fighting chance. In situations like his, every second counts — and this rapid response saved his life.
Today, Emoli is thriving, his gentle nature shining through. Watching him flourish at our Voi Reintegration Unit, not far from where he was rescued, is a powerful reminder that hope can triumph, even in the direst moments.

In just seven years, the number of calves mothered by our ex-orphans has doubled, with at least 70 babies having now been born into a wild life. These precious lives are a testament to the ripple effect of every orphan rescue, giving life to generations of elephants.
This little sprite is Sulwe, who was born on 25th December! You can read about all the known wild-born calves at sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

Kerrio is playing hide & seek - & doing such a good job, you might miss her entirely! She's equal parts sweet & nurturing: aside from the Keepers, she acts as the centre of the Nairobi herd’s universe, keeping everyone feeling loved, safe & happy.

For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.
Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning - effective immediately - in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.
If I had a kid at Columbia, I’d be livid. It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.
“They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, ‘Strike, strike Tel Aviv,” said one terrified student. Followed by, “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” “Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.”
In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”
That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews. For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.
In the meantime, mikeroweWORKS is accepting applications for our next round of work ethic scholarships. Deadline is the end of the month. It’s worth noting that the careers we’re training people for cannot be taught, or preformed, remotely. It’s also worth mentioning that we accept donations year-round and spend the money we take in with great discretion. You can apply for a scholarship, or donate, at mikeroweWORKS.org.

About friggin’ time.
The San Diego City Council unanimously voted to close a 150-yard stretch of coastline known as Point La Jolla after conservationists said visitors would get too close to the sea lions to take selfies, pet them or even climb on top of the larger ones. nyti.ms/45qPpmF

What single piece of equipment can…
❇ Drop our sniffer dogs & rangers at the most remote locations?
❇ Help extinguish wildfires with a Bambi Bucket?
❇ Provide a perfect platform to dart injured wildlife from the air?
❇ Transport orphaned animals to safety?
Honestly, the list could go on & on when it comes to our helicopters, which elevate our conservation capabilities - quite literally! Take a look at our latest aerial report to see what we mean: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…

The orphans can’t resist a snuggle session. Kerrio kicked off this love fest, cuddling up next to Mageno, who had laid down in the dust. Next, Nyambeni & Mzinga ambled along & lay their little trunks along their backs. Muridjo rounded out the love-in, stroking the others with her trunk.
If you have a lot of love to give (like these elephants), consider adopting an orphan in our care: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…. You’ll help support the care of these babies & our wider conservation projects.

Fiercely protective, a fantastic role model & generosity in spades, Kerrio has matured into a wonderful big sister to Mzinga, Nyaambeni & Shujaa. She picked up some of it from the older orphans, but she is also innately gentle & tender. Know more about our mini-matriarch: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

At rescue, some wondered if Enkesha would ever use her trunk again after it was nearly severed in a snare. But Enkesha's middle name ought to be ‘Resilient’. The snare may have left lasting damage but she has adapted to use her unique nose as well as any other elephant. Her remarkable story is testament to her bravery: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o… #FlashbackFriday

Kerrio is proof that miracles are possible. When we rescued her 2 years ago, we wondered if she’d walk again, every step a real struggle. Incredibly, she slowly regained her mobility & now we can’t keep up with her. Read her story (you’ll thank us later) sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…
