Four days to save a life. In one of our most challenging operations to date, teams battled terrain and rising tides to pull off an extraordinary rescue.

Day 1: Two bulls trapped in mudflats near Kilifi Creek, hundreds of metres from solid ground. With darkness falling, we assessed the situation with @KWSKenya and formulated a plan for the morning.

Day 2: As a bulldozer was brought to the scene, the team excavated around each bull. Tragically, the first bull was already ebbing away and died shortly after he was pulled free. A terrible setback, but we could still save his friend. He was even deeper in the mud and the straps kept snapping under the strain of his weight. We continued trying until nightfall.

Day 3: Armed with custom webbing straps from our friends at Wisla Narrow Fabrics, the bulldozer was able to haul the bull to freedom. He was exhausted, distressed, and refused to leave his fallen friend. We shepherded him as far as possible, then left him with water to recover. Late that night, we received word that he was stuck again.

Day 4: This time, the bull was trapped in a tidal creek. After bolstering him with IV drips, we pulled him 170 metres to safety. Freedom came not a moment too soon — just 30 minutes later, the tides came in and the creek filled with water. Had the bull still been stuck, he would have drowned. Teams tracked him 35 kilometres into the night, until he was far from danger.

Elephants are trying to keep up in a changing world, as habitat fragmentation disrupts routes they’ve mapped through generations. But they are also incredibly resilient, if we give them the support they need. As we work to secure the bigger picture, we will be there to help any elephant who loses their way.

A herder peered into a derelict tank on Galana Ranch and found a young female lion trapped at the bottom. The tank was deep and smooth-sided – she'd been stuck there for at least two days, her paws rubbed raw from desperate attempts to escape. She needed help - fast.

That’s exactly what our field teams are there for. Our SWT helicopter flew the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Veterinary Unit to the scene and mounted an urgent intervention which unfolded earlier this year. Donations make this possible, fuelling our aircraft, equipping the Vet Units and helping us save precious wild lives.

What's the collective noun for easels ...

An army of easels?
A herd of easels?
A bunch of easels?

What do you think?
