  • Rokka’s rescue is more of an epic saga than a mere story. It all began on the evening of 26th July 2021, during a routine patrol along the Tiva River. Flying over a popular watering point, our pilots spotted a lone baby elephant. She was far too young to be on her own - seven months old, at most - and looked extremely stressed.
    Read Rokka's full rescue story and consider supporting her ongoing care through an adoption at: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or...
    -------
    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.

    The people are true heroes! That was an heroic effort to get the baby elephant rescued.
    Rokka is a matriarch in the making.

    I am so honoured to Foster a number of Elephants as you all do such an amazing job. Thank you for saving this little one before lions could get her. I have also just adopted Taabu for my one year old grandson and have bought him the Garzi book and puzzle as I want to teach him about saving wild life from an early age. So when I have left this world my grandson will continue my fight to help all wildlife and keep them safely in the the wild.

Thank God that people like those at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust exist to take care of these innocent souls. I wish I had a lot of money as I would adopt each and every one if these sweet babies. Kudos to the keepers and the people that care for these babies. The reward is when they bring their own babies back for a visit.🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Then standing so lovingly and being so pert as she traveled along.with carers and other orphans. Picking up her bottle from the lawn, with bending knees and sweet trunk was the final decision YES must adopt her of the Heart. Her adoption starts tonight the l3th of Dec and she will celebrate her first birthday in 2 days!!! on Dec.15.2021. Happy Birthday sweet angel!💞💗💖💝🐘💞

You all have been such an inspiration to me and my love of elephants ever since I can remember! Daphne and the entire family are all Ele Angels!
