The wait is almost over! Hesty and her baby boy are preparing for their public debut on June 18 at 9:00 a.m. Join us for a chance to see our newest orangutan and first-time mom! 🧡🦧
As they continue to bond, Hesty will keep her little one close and may choose to spend time in behind-the-scenes spaces, so visibility may vary. Thank you for your patience as mom and baby settle into this exciting new chapter.
Don’t forget—we need your help naming Hesty’s baby boy! For a $5 donation, you can vote for Rambutan, Oka or Jamartin. Every vote supports exceptional care for Hesty, her baby and also helps protect Critically Endangered Sumatran orangutans in the wild.

Children are the future of conservation.
That’s why Mara Elephant Project offers FREE Zoom sessions connecting classrooms directly with conservationists and rangers in Kenya. These conversations offer a unique opportunity for students to hear firsthand about elephant conservation, human–elephant coexistence, and daily life working to protect wildlife in the Mara.
Recently, Sheffield Elementary School in Massachusetts hosted a Zoom session with two Kenyan conservationists. The students were deeply engaged, asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine excitement as they learned about MEP’s mission. The conversation was shared in an age-appropriate, fun, and interactive way that made conservation feel real and accessible.

A heartening sight from Dhenkanal Forest Division as wild elephants, including calves, safely use the dedicated underpass while moving through their natural habitat.
Such wildlife-friendly infrastructure plays a vital role in ensuring safe movement, reducing risks, and strengthening human elephant coexistence.

Dr. Lynn Von Hagen and Sean Ploysa of DZCA have been on the ground in Rwanda and Uganda training field rangers and conservation teams from our partner organizations: the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association and the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project, and other partners including Queen Elizabeth National Park.
When our partners identified a critical need, we listened. Their field teams are working miles from the nearest hospital, in landscapes shared with buffalo, elephants, and lions, and expressed a need for basic first aid and CPR training.
Over two and a half weeks, across two countries and multiple partner organizations, DZCA trained over 80 individuals in lifesaving skills.
This is what meaningful partnership looks like. Not just sharing resources, but sharing expertise, building trust, and showing up for the people on the front lines of conservation every single day.
