- Ziwadi was just a year old when she was found wandering alone in the Masai Mara region, following young herders with their livestock and any vehicle that came close in a desperate bid for company. Sadly her search for comfort brought her into danger and we were soon requested by KWS and concerned community members fearful of her approaches to bring her into our care after she suffered an arrow attack when she ventured into community land.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.

We love you so much ziwadi, you will be in our hearts forever, I wish you could have grown up and be with the umani spring herd. We will miss you so much.
I am so very sorry to learn this beautiful and sweet Angel has passed. Thank u all so much who saved her and showed her immense love during her final few years, both her caregivers and her herd. This is heartbreaking.
For us all; Life is so precious and we know not when our final breath will be exhaled. God bless this foundation. ❤
After watching the Sheldrick videos, I finally asked for money towards an adoption for my Birthday, and pressed "Suggest and Orphan" and Ziwadi's page came up. I've adopted this little girl and have high hopes that she will live a full life despite everything she has gone through.
These are real Hero's of the World. Not your sports stars, actors, Politicians. These people who rescue animals in need, not to ,mention people in need are the real Hero's.
I just saw a video update. She’s been at DSWT for six months and is doing good. She had epileptic seizures early on and they’re under control to the point that she may eventually go back to the wild in a few years. If you don’t know, DSWT has a compound for elephants who can never be released due to long term injuries that are taken care of and will live out their natural life in loving hands.🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️
🐘🐘❤💘💝💝😢😭😢😭😭😭Thank You So Much🙏😇🐘🐘🌷⚘
I love Ziwadi so much, I have adopted her and I love her with all my heart. I’m really sorry that Ziwadi had to go through all of this 😔, but I’m very happy that Ziwadi is getting so much better
Sweet little Ziwadi is one of the very special orphans I adopted in 2020. Contributing to her healing has been very healing for me! Thank you for all you do to protect and ensure the health of these beautiful sacred beings. 🙏🏼♥️🐘
Soso sad! I adopted her today! So so happy!...May she thrive..:-)))
My beautiful darling adoptee!
I just adopted Ziwadi today. She is just so sweet and I pray she makes a full recovery with all the trauma she has been through. I think that the blindness comes from the psychological effects of PTSD. Temporary blindness happens to soldiers who have been traumatized in battle.
You are wonderful thank you
So so kind of u ♥️♥️how is she doing now?
Beautiful baby
I wonder do any of you stop to think about the poor and starving children of this country? It seems no expense is spared on these animals but what about the many human souls that perish before their 10th birthday in this country (about 60%). Because they lack basic neccities like clean water and food and vaccines Meanwhile these animals get a private plane ride to a nursery.. Human being grow up to be grateful, productive and give back to their community. What do these elephants offer you for the future? I know they are cute when they are babies but they do grow up to require an enormous amount of food and water, all for 1/2 of the habitat to supply in the future? Can anyone else see the train wreck In about 5-10 years from all these " rescues"? I know you mean well, I question your priorities.
@@magicmoney9653 There are organizations to help human orphans as well. If you're so concerned, look into that yourself. As for "how do elephants help anybody" elephants are very useful to their ecosystem. They a keystone species. Look that up.
May God grant Daphne's Departed soul the eternal peace. She was the one who started this amazing Trust, otherwise elephants would have been close to extinction.
Wow really. I know of her but when did she pass???
@@Fadedecho1 2018 of breast cancer.
@@cate499 oh wow im sorry for that. The foundation is still operating. I truly hope so as it is the best for the ellies in need. Daphne was a great woman. With a huge heart. May she RIP. Thank u for response. 🙏😇
@@Fadedecho1 Yes, our founder Daphne passed away after a battle with breast cancer. We shared more details for our supporters at the time here: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/dr-dame-daphne-sheldrick-d-b-e-1934-2018. Prior to Daphne's passing, the day to day operations of the SWT had been run by her daughter and our CEO, Angela Sheldrick and this has continued with our teams working as hard as ever to continue Daphne's legacy.
Que lindo lo que dijiste de ellame Dio mucha tristesa cuamdo lo super.gracias
Bless her, to have a few seizures she must be very sensitive little elephant. The trauma thesr babies go through breaks our hearts. Bless you everyone.
Takes so many keepers to save the calf, adopt 🐘
Poor darling has been through so much. Thank you for looking after her, hope she makes it!
God love that sweet little Elephant!! She misses her former family.
Thank God.. You Angels are here on earth.. Thank you for rescuing Zivadi..I can see her healthy and happy because she is in safe hands..
Thank you for everything you all do, day in and day out with such devotion...
OMG who would shoot a poor baby? Thank you soooo VERY much DSWT for all you do I am so ever grateful for having a wonderful amazing helpful the best place ever to help those little ones in need!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart knowing atleast these little ones in your care have a safe place to stay so I can rest better knowing this. I would give anything to be there with you. I would do anything to be there 24/7 GUARANTEE
Thank you to.the Sheldrick Trust and Keepers for the wonderful love and care given to all orphans especially my little ellie baby, Ziwadi
It's so sad that the local people feel the need to hurt these babies. All babies need the care and nurturing from their mother and unfortunately do wander into areas where they're not welcome. Thank you again Sheldrick ❤❤
Ziwadi darling I'm so sorry what happened to you. But have no doubts that we love you very much. You are in the best hands. TDWT thank you for rescuing Ziwadi. God bless all.
Gracias de 💖a todas aquellas personas interesadas en el rescate de todo ser vivo son seres muy especiales😄😄☺😗graciaaaaaaas🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I don't understand why the "community" would shoot a lone, orphaned calf? Poor thing. Thank you for being there for her!
probably to protect the crops or animals, it is still wrong but i get them
While we weren't there at the time, there could be any number of reasons. Living alongside elephants is very difficult for many communities; when herds wander through villages, it can be very frightening and elephants have been known to attack if they feel threatened or unsafe. In this case, the little girl kept approaching young cattle herders and an individual may have felt threatened (after all, a baby elephant is still quite big) or feared her family might wander by to look for her and endangered the community. Ultimately elephants are wild animals and care and respect is needed at all times towards them - its harrowing to think that this innocent girl was injured and we're pleased to have taken her to safety as soon as we were notified.
@@SheldrickTrust Thank you for the clarification, but there is never any excuse to harm wild animals. Humans have the ability to adjust their lifestyles to let animals co-exist without being maimed, poisoned, or killed. The habitat for wildlife is already massively degraded, fragmented, and there needs to be way more compassion and understanding from these so-called herders. These ignorant people are not unique, however, in this part of Africa -- animals bear the brunt of human barbarity and stupidity the world over.
@@lanialost1320 are you dumb
People are struggling to feed their Families aqnd you hier from Eu or what ever judging them.
People like you are ignorants
I’ve been watching Asian elephants for so long, that it was a slight shock for me to see how large the African elephants ears are. Of course I know they’re bigger, but knowing and seeing aren’t the same thing!
I do love seeing the elephant keepers in their green lab coats. I think they’re ought to be a painting or professional portrait done of the whole team of men who take care of these worthy and precious creatures.
I’ve always loved elephants!
So lovely!!! Ziwadi is sooooo cute!! She is my little one! All the keepers at DSWT are awesome!!
When I come to dswt for a visit, I want to hug each and member of this shelter,, tell the eles same thing,, as I wont control my happiness,,,🥰🥰🥰🥰
I pray for you baby Ziwadi. You are so special.
When it said that she was having a seizure my jaw dropped and I almost teared up that is the worst thing that a keeper would want to see thank you for saving another elephant
THANK YOU for your wonderful, dedicated work in helping these Elephants and Ziwadi -- they ARE beautiful, sensitive, smart, sweet -- keep up your great work -- it would be wise for the Humans to contact Elephant Rescuers when come upon Elephants all alone -- instead of shooting the Baby with arrows, it would be nice to contact someone for assistance -- it's terribly cruel and tragic that one way or another Elephants were separated from their families in the first -- WE LOVE YOU -- THANK YOU for taking the path of life for these Elephants.
I am always amazed and stunned what you do for those beautiful animals and I am so thankful for that
Stay strong little one! Your help has already arrived!!
Muchas gracias por su hermoso trabajo rescatando y cuidando de estas preciosas criaturas, los elefantes, y más los bebés inocentes que sufren tanto al encontrarse solos por la muerte de sus madres. Pensemos que son seres que sienten y graban en su memoria los sufrimientos que padecen desde muy bebés. Que Dios os bendiga a todos por vuestra labor y a esas hermosas criaturas que fueron muy desgraciadas y ahora son felices.
Though for a short time, for four years you were in good hands and able to live the best life. So happy to have fostered you sweet baby Ziwadi,😢❤
Thank you and thank you over and over again
God bless everyone who has a part in helping these angels.
Gracias por la dedicación, esmero y devoción con la que hacen su trabajo dia a dia. Mi hija me regaló la adopción de Orwa, de lejos el mejor regalo que recibí.
God bless you all
If any of you are married men I just wanna thank wife's for understanding of what you all are doing.
Thank you 🙏🙏
🇧🇷Gratidão eterna por vocês salvarem e cuidarem desses amorosos e especiais anjos gigantes 😍😘🐘🙏 ♥🍀
I've been fostering Ziwadi along with Sattao and Kiombo for a couple of months now. My heart went out to Ziwadi because I had seizures as a child but more or less outgrew them, so I am hoping the same for her.
I pray she fully recovers. You people are Angels,🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘
The gentle and beautiful music echoes so well with the work you do to these amazing creatures!May all of you be blessed abundantly in everything you need day in and day out...
God continue to bless the elephant keepers and all that they do for the sweet baby elies!🧡🐘
These kind of actions give me hope for the human race. Thank you for the hard work. God bless you!
Thank you for saving her! 😭🙏🐘
I just adopted Ziwadi!
Thank you for being there for the helpless little ones.
I watched a special show on your crew and the elephants awhile back. The work you all do for them is just beyond impressive. It's heartbreaking the length ppl will go-to to hurt / injure / torture / poach etc... Animals. I applaud you for your team. And your overwhelming desire to keep these ellies safe.. God bless.
Beautiful angel stay strong and healthy, thank you DSWT and Teams.
😢😢😢 poor innocent baby ❤️. I hope she recovers and lives a full life.Thank you DSWT for all you do.👏🏼
Thank you for saving all the beautiful creature! I hope that they have good healthy happy and safe life! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Heroes protecting mother mature with all their might 🦋✊🏽 Gracias
My heart always drops to my feet when I see you have rescued another baby elephant, but my spirit is lifted knowing that it is in the best of places with dswt and its' special keepers. Thank you so much for everything you do ...
Thank you to Kenya for protecting the Elephants 🐘🙏 🧡💖
Aww, it's always sad to see an orphan baby elephant, but glad you all were there to help...💔😥🐘🖤🐘💙🐘
I cried tears of joy, she's in great hands, God bless you and all of us Amen
GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks alot💓🐘💕🐘💓
I never see better team work.Those kind rescuers and keepers are amazing .I am happy that baby is safe with his new family .God bless you Thank you
thank you for saving her
Thank you guyz!!!!! What a lovely story !!!!❤️❤️❤️
So in Kenya we have children starving to death and dying of diseases from lack of water and basic medical care, yet there is a sky vet to care for elephants? Seriously? Can you imagine how much a starving child in this country would appreciate a private plane ride to all the food and medicine they need. Yet that is reserved for elephants? My god this world has lost its mind! If you support this warped inequity Shame on you.
I wonder if she was rejected by her mother because of these seizures or they are stress related from being seperated. Either way she is the best hands now. Loving your work DSWT, you rock!
These elephants had a tough life,thank you for caring for them ,god bless you all, l am going to donate to your animal centre
Luv elephants thank u for saving g them God bless u and them
Ziwadi, you are LOVED ❤
What a sweetheart! I too hope that she makes a full and complete recovery soon. Thank you for caring for her so lovingly. 🙂❤🐘
Thanks goodness, the green coat angel
Wow Great work
Que lindos son los elefantes
Que bonito es ver que cuidan a estos babys
Un grand merci a ceux qui sauve les éléphants
Wish you a speedy recovery Ziwadi 😘
Why is the printing so small? It's hard to read it fast enough and even harder to see. Glad that precious baby was rescued, though. Keep up the good work.
Cutiee elle..
Sweet little girl 💞💗
Nice job guys, heartwarming story
Hermosa labor,GRACIAS AMIGOS!!
Oh, this poor little ellie, getting shot at! Thank goodness she now has a safe place to be with friends
God Bless you All...🌹

good job ! thank you little man green . je vous aime
Ciao Ziwadi, tutti insieme, Keepers e compagni di Nursery, potete far sì, che la vita vi sorrida sempre!!! 😢🐘🐘🐘
This broke my heart and brought me to tears. The cruelty of humanity has no limits. Poor little angel was already starving, alone and infested with parasites. Grieving for her mom and heard fearing all the predators alone without hope. And then some stupid humans shoot 2 arrows into her. There is no excuse for those villagers to be so cruel. I don't care if they are starving and worried about her maybe eating their crops. Or if an Elephant had killed someone they love in the past. That baby is innocent of any wrong doing in her own country that has been swamped with cruel humans. They need birth control so that so many children don't have to starve. And so many humans are not taking their habitat away from the animals God put there. When the humans have finally poached, killed, ate, trophy hunted, snare trapped and poisoned all the Elephants, Big Cats, Rhinos, Gorilla's and other precious wild life in Africa, than they will know true hardship. Tourism brings in billions to the country everyday that want to see ( only ) Africa's wild life. When they are gone the entire country will suffer, dry up of tourists and blow away. Those animals are their most precious resource and they are needlessly slaughtered every day. No animal should be wounded and left to die a long horrible death. But I can't say the same for the humans that kill them or try to. I hope they suffer a slow horrible death. Thank God for all of you Heros out there fighting what must seem like a lost battle. I'm sorry if I sound to hard but drastic measures must be taken or the animals will be gone forever.
Lisa Etinger I understand your caring for the elephants and other wildlife. I do too. But I fear you’ve lost some of your humanity in the way you talk about Africans. If you had walked a mile in their shoes you would likely have a very different opinion. So let’s support elephants and wildlife but not at the expense of our own humanity. True compassion extends to humans as well as animals.
@@nomiballou8969 Nothing they have been through gives them the right to be cruel to a living breathing creature on this planet. I know what the natives and villagers have been through. I am a highly educated person. I have studied their lives at great length. There are people all over this world that have suffered extreme hardship and heartache. Myself included. People in Vietnam seem even worse to me. Their children have to beg for rats to eat and even in a country infested with rats there is not enough to go around. People need to stop having so many children they can not afford to care for. No one needs more than 3 at the most with out the ability to care for them. This problem is all over the world. Especially places such as Africa, China, Vietnam, India and Asia. I have not lost an ounce of my humanity but some humans are not worth the space they take up on this planet. Do you think we need child rapists and murderers ? Should we take your advice in that situation ? Just console the victims and pray it's gets better ? I know lots of humans that are not worth the life of an animal. Animals don't kill and torture for sport and fun. Only humans are capable of that horrible deed. My humanity does not extend to humans that do not deserve it. I will pray for you since you think a human having a terrible lot in life should get away with barbaric treatment of animals. You must believe animals beneath us. People like you that sit back and just hope things get better are why the world is the way it is. We all have choices and must have consequences. The punishment should far out weigh the crime. That is the only way to stop the cruelty to humans and animals. So sit your butt on the side lines and hope. I'm on the front line in this war and am more than willing to die for the cause.
Quelle horreur ici !
Gracias por salvar tanta vidas
Beautiful thank you
Hope she is without seizures now and is doing well!!
Poor baby. Looks like all the herd is curious and accepting. Love and security are the best medicine. Any chance you can enlarge the print of the captions?
I recently saw the story of an English WWII survivor, a paratrooper who had been dropped into northern France Separated from his unit, and with German soldiers looking for him, he was taken in by two older French women in this little farm. He remained for the duration of the war. When his parents were told he was missing in action, his father was immediately struck with blindness, and remained that way for several months.
É muito amor....
How could humans ever want to kill such a magnificent creature just for the ivory...it makes me ashamed to be human....these beautiful SENTIENT creatures deserve to exist as they are....harmoniously with nature....God bless DSWT
❤️❤️❤️🐘❤️❤️❤️
Bye Ziwadi 🕊️🙏
I adopted this oneeee
That's a good sign- it means she's still alive
💔Heartbreaking to hear she was shot with arrows from the community but WHY knowing she's a tiny little thing? That bothers me alot. I'm so thankful she's recovering well.
**I understand why she was shot from a previous answer but I still think it's so wrong. 😟👎
