Review for Sheldrick Wildlife Trust USA, Laguna Hills, CA, USA
I first became acquainted with this organization last summer on a trip to Kenya. Having “adopted” a baby for myself and one for travel companions, I have been following them all year. The care of the keepers brings tears to my eyes. The tenderness shown to newcomers by older orphans is so touching. These wonderful babies deserve and receive lavish attention and care from all involved. The reintegration process ensures that they will grow on to lead normal, in-the-wild lives. Many reintegrated females return to show their wild-born baby to the staff. This gives testimony to the abiding tie that is created, and the continuing gratitude that these elephants feel for Sheldrick.
