Six months ago, we received reports of an abandoned calf on the Maasai Mara. She was so desperate for company that she was shadowing passing herdsmen and their livestock, which left the local villagers very fearful. Already one arrow had been shot at her, so at the request of the Kenya Wildlife Service we set plans in motion to rescue her. Ziwadi's first months at the Nursery were fraught; she was plagued by health issues, from temporary blindness to periodic seizures, and we can only imagine the psychological trauma she endured before we got to her.

Ziwadi has overcome the hurdles put in her path with quiet determination, and thanks to the attentive care of our Keepers. She continues to recover well and we wanted to share an update on this brave girl's progress.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
