What's that we hear? The pitter-patter of more tiny elephant feet? Baby celebrations continue for our wild-living orphans, this time at our Voi Unit. This magical little calf brings our wild-born baby count to an incredible 52. Meet him, and his mum, here: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…

Who's this little chap sporting the snappy hairstyle? Well-known for our pioneering work in the rescue of orphan elephants, we open our doors to all-manner of wild orphans. Meet Rodney, the duiker, who just joined our eclectic Kaluku herd.

This infant bush baby is one of our newest — and tiniest — additions. As with all the orphans we rescue, he will remain in our care until he’s grown up and ready to return to the wild.

Orphaned #elephant Naipoki recently made a surprise visit to our Voi Unit, trekking 80km to seek help with a wound on her rump. Long after they have transitioned from our care, orphans know they can circle back to us in their hour of need: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…

Say 'hi' to Bristle. Bought into our care as an orphan, we've raised Bristle from a tiny chick, with the aim of returning this beautiful bird back to the wild when older. Meet some of the other orphaned animals we have rescued: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

Two treatments in six weeks give this injured #elephant the best chance of recovery. Luckily, second time round, the SWT/KWS Amboseli Vet Unit found he was healing well and, thanks to follow up care, he should make a full recovery #SavingLives

...one of the world's richest biodiversity regions? The Amazon's microbiome supports the magnificent macroscopic life that makes up the jungle's mega-diversity (trees, flowers, animals). Yet we often forget about this hidden Amazonian universe. So most remains unexplored. 7/19

Where can you find one of the largest mangrove forests in the world, elephants and the world’s rarest antelope, the hirola, living side-by-side other critically endangered animals? Amu Ranch and Witu Forest, that’s where: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/a…

Introducing Tunga, a newly rescued baby oryx. He was so young, his umbilical cord could still be seen. It is still a delicate time for this calf who lost his mother to lions but safe in the care of our Kaluku Field HQ, he has the best chance at life.
263 orphaned #elephants are alive today thanks to Dame Daphne Sheldrick. She was the first person to perfect the milk formula to raise neonate calves and discover the secrets to successfully raising milk-dependent infant elephants #InternationalWomensDay

When one has dedicated Keepers like this, what's a baby rhino like Apollo to do but kick back and relax. Find out how donations from our supporters enabled us to be there during his biggest time of need when his mother died: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

#Lifesaving help for a male lion who sought refuge at a tourist lodge after sustaining serious fight wounds. The SWT/KWS Mara Vet Unit moved him from the thicket he was holed up in, and patched up his injuries. He's 1 of 9 lives down, but should recover fully.

Poppadom is a rescued orphan squirrel we hand-raised. Most of the time he lives in the tree canopy but he regularly visits the people that raised him (namely our operations manager) for a snack and a comforting scratch.

A little life saved. This is one of four dik-diks rescued by the SWT/KWS Burra De-Snaring Team before it perished in a bushmeat poachers snare. As well as saving this little chap, the team confiscated 123 snare traps: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…
