Today would have been Daphne Sheldrick's 92nd birthday. My mother never set out to be a titan of conservation. She began the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to continue my late father’s vision, guided by a love for all wild creatures and a desire to make a better world for them. She weathered so many challenges in her time, but remained unwaveringly true to herself and her beliefs.
Building success on success, never straying from this mission, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has grown into the far-reaching, multi-faceted conservation organisation we are today. I know Daphne and David would be so proud of all we have achieved.
It has been eight years since Daphne left us, but she remains in the forefront of our minds. She was an unassuming woman who achieved so much just by pursuing her passion for animals and the natural world.
Daphne always said, “You reap what you sow” — and my goodness, what has been sown over the years.

Cobolli says he's using the same shower Rafa Nadal used for 14 years at Roland Garros
"I had a memory of that shower, trying to steal it from him. He knocked & I had to hurry because he was waiting on me. He told me it was his shower for 14 years”
😭😭😭
Rafa’s mental fortitude is unparalleled. It has the thumb print of Toni Nadal who trained him since he was 3y/o. Toni’s influence helped shaped Rafa to what he is today. And Carlos Moya helped Rafa regained his self confidence.

One of the craziest days in a long time.
We saved 9 lives directly against the odds. If you want to see what dog rescue is like up close and raw this is it.
Slightly longer watch but lots of wins to enjoy ❤️
This is IN-fckng-SANE.
He’s dismantling, deregulating, banning, firing, &/or canceling things we need, while adding poisons, chemicals, dirty extraction, & planet-ending data centers, that no one asked for & no one wants.
As players struggle with the heat at Roland-Garros, it's a reminder of Nadal's extraordinary achievements on the clay over the years. The new Netflix doc Rafa is full of insights and when I spoke to Nadal about it, he reflected on his uncle Toni's intense training regime.
Sonny had been left behind by his family and was extremely sick. He was also an older gentleman.
I put a tie on him when he came in and told him it would all be ok.
Look at him now with his new family. He is aging backwards ❤️
I genuinely don’t know how this dog is still alive.
A tough couple of days for Mr Atlas but he is rising up once again.
A little longer watch but you’ll love his story!
Promised her a better life when she invited herself into @happydoggothai after being abandoned in the jungle.
Look at Buttons now.
That smile is priceless ❤️
