My Nonprofit Reviews

I gave 2 benefits for DSWT because I’m awed and inspired by the work Dame Daphne Sheldrick began to save baby orphan elephants when their mothers are slaughtered-most often by ivory poachers. I was honored to have met Daphne at 2 DSWT benefits-first at the World Wildlife Film Festival in Jackson Hole Wyoming 9/25/13 when she was honored as the keynote speaker; and second at a major benefit in London 9/25/15. Sadly she passed away this April; but her work will be continued by her daughter Angela and supporters all over the world of her amazing cause. Baby elephants would normally nurse for three years and are in utero for 22 months; but when their mothers are killed or pass away from natural causes they would always die if not rescued and given IV‘s and bottles around the clock with coconut water by their “keepers”. Perhaps most amazing is that at about age 10-12, rescued babies are released into the wild (Daphne’s goal-elephants deserve to live fee) and 29 have had wild born babies with a wild bull elephant and return to show their keepers their babies! I have written about DSWT on my website passionforpachyderms.org
It is an exceptional charity!
