@MikeHudema Hey Mike, I’m looking at the comments and can’t believe so many are clueless. It is scary. Thanks for elk your work.

Moon is the 93rd known wild-born calf of our Orphans’ Project.

Born to ex-orphan Melia, rescued as a yearling in 2009, Moon is now part of the next generation living wild.

This is the long arc of our work – rescue, years of care, reintegration, and a generation born free.

Each wild-born calf represents years of consistent work, made possible by sustained support.

By setting up a regular gift, you will help us be there for the next rescue, the next wild birth and the orphans growing up now: https://t.co/NVpsbuFaAn

20. Not 200. Not 2,000. Twenty. In the wild. On Earth.

Sunday Smile: Mara and Rana graze beneath yellow and green trees as the dry season settles in. Though the grass fades, the elephants never lack food. Extra hay, palms, grains, and produce help keep them happy and healthy.

Four years ago today, Korbessa arrived at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery. She was just days old, rescued after falling into a well in Meru National Park.

She was the smallest orphan in the Kaluku herd, but soon took charge of the group, starting with her sidekick, Toto.

Four years on, this little girl, affectionately known as “Little Frog” for the position she adopts when lying down, runs a tighter ship than ever. The rest of us just do what she wants!

We have now met 94 babies born wild to orphan elephants we rescued, raised and rewilded. In a wonderful demonstration of the lifelong bond they form with the Keepers, many of our ex-orphan mums return to our reintegration units after giving birth to show off their babies to the people who raised them. We have even witnessed several mothers returning to give birth at our units!

Every rescue carries this possibility within it. At our Umani Springs unit, we are watching a new generation of elephants enter the world. What began with two elephants in 2014 – Murera and Sonje – has grown into a family herd already featuring four wild-born babies, with more on the way!

This success is one of five examples of elephant conservation in action: https://t.co/QlTGqOXg86

This big bull was owning the Ithumba mud bath!

Not so long ago, this sight was unthinkable. When we established our Ithumba Reintegration Unit in 2004, it was rare to see a single wild elephant. The northern sector of Tsavo had been scarred by decades of poaching and limited water resources, and as a result, wild elephants gave it a wide berth.

Over the years, working in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, we helped secure Ithumba and nurtured it into a safe, sustainable habitat. Slowly but surely, the elephants returned. It started with a single bull ‘rafiki’ – and before long, the northern sector of the park transformed into a hub for elephants.

This bull is one such regular visitor – an entirely wild elephant, feeling totally at ease in his environment.

Baby's caregivers say she's bright, curious, and energetic—and growing more confident every day. Her movements are softer, her skin is healthier, and she's exploring places she once feared. Read more: https://t.co/y1mejpIRGE

🐘Baby's Greatest Hits!!!... 🎊Happy World Elephant Day!!!🎊

Eight reasons to celebrate the life of Baby, who flourishes at the Elephant Sanctuary [pics and vids]
By Monica Nunes - 8/12/2026
"Walks among trees, where she can scratch or knock them down, in the sun or rain; baths in mud puddles or in the lagoon; resting on mounds of soft earth – in their sleeping enclosure or outdoors; participation in nightly trumpeting ceremonies  led by other elephants;  tasting various leaves, anywhere and at any time, and enjoying balanced meals offered throughout the day by her caregivers.

This is a brief description of the routine of the Asian elephant Baby since she arrived at the  Brazilian Elephant Sanctuary (SEB ) on June 20th..."

World Elephant Day is a time to celebrate elephants—and recognize the threats they face. Fewer than 40,000 Asian elephants remain, while African numbers are also declining. Read more: https://t.co/oEgJpP5IHy

Bambi ventured to the pond on her own after breakfast, sliding into the fresh mud for a good scratch and some silly fun. She stayed near the water, enjoying cool sprays even as Guillermina wandered back with a snack. Read more: https://t.co/z8jbHL4hkQ
