Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a non-profit organization based in Kenya that focuses on the conservation of wildlife, particularly elephants. Founded in 1977 by Daphne Sheldrick, the trust is renowned for its orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program. The organization works to protect endangered species and their habitats through various initiatives, including anti-poaching efforts and community outreach.
In addition to caring for orphaned elephants, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust also promotes wildlife conservation education and supports local communities. The trust operates the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Nursery in Nairobi, where visitors can learn about the elephants and the importance of wildlife conservation.
