The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya takes care of wounded, orphaned and abandoned baby elephants. They nurse and feed them till they are strong enough to be re-introduced into the wild.
Because of the ivory trade, a large number of adult African elephants are slaughtered, leaving their cubs as orphans. An elephant orphanage programme was started in Kenya to raise the baby elephants till adulthood when they are reintroduced to the wild.
