100% Preventable - Strong words here from NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy on 2025 DCA Midair Collision:
"We should be angry, because for years no one listened. This was preventable, this was 100% preventable...having a helicopter route crossing runway...with only 75 feet of vertical separation...at best separating a helicopter a civilian aircraft, nowhere in the airspace is that ok. Nowhere! This shouldn't have existed."

Early this morning, Amboseli National Park, Kenya - and indeed the world - lost a true icon. Craig, the legendary super tusker famed for its immense, ground-sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence, passed on at the age of 54.
Born in January 1972 to the great matriarch Cassandra of the CB family, Craig lived a life that few elephants ever do.
Craig was one of the last remaining super tuskers in Africa - a rare class of bull elephants whose two tusks weigh over 45 kilograms (100 lbs) each. Fewer than a handful remain today, making him a living monument to Africaโs natural heritage.
He fathered a number of calves, ensuring that his powerful bloodline and gentle character live on across generations.
Beyond its extraordinary tusks, Craig was deeply loved for its remarkably calm nature. He appeared to understand its place in the world - often pausing patiently as visitors photographed and filmed him. Widely documented and admired globally, he became a true ambassador of Amboseli and a symbol of what successful conservation looks like.
In 2021, Craig was proudly adopted by East African Breweries Limited (EABL) through the Tusker brand, reflecting his worldwide appeal. His long life and survival to such maturity were made possible through decades of dedicated protection by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), working in close collaboration with conservation partners and the local community.
Continuous monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and community stewardship ensured that Craig lived freely and safely - demonstrating what collective commitment to wildlife conservation can achieve.
Drop a memory of Craig down below and let's celebrate its legacy. #TunzaMaliYako

In February 2017, a one-year-old calf was found in the Mara with a wire snare slicing so deep into her trunk it was nearly severed โ hanging on by a slip of skin.
That calf was Enkesha. Three operations, months of round-the-clock care, and one very determined elephant later โ her trunk healed naturally. She still carries the scar where the wire once was.
Today, she's one of Umani's most devoted nannies. She reads the room, anticipates trouble, and steps in before roughhousing gets out of hand. Thanks to her, wild-born babies like Mwana, Lenny, Zigi, and Sulwe grow up safe, while younger orphaned elephants have a loving role model to look up to.
Adoptions help us raise orphaned elephants like Enkesha โ and support the next generation she now protects. Learn more about adopting: https://t.co/CooVpdJj7e
