  • This is the rescue story of Faraja, a young 7month old partially albino elephant calf who is now being rehabilitated at the DSWT's Nairobi Nursery.
    Read the full account of Faraja's rescue at www.sheldrickwi...
    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.

      Really? So in a country that has the highest infant mortality rate not to mention all the children without parents due to HiV , and extreme poverty. This organization has the resources to pick these animals up via Private plane, and rush them to a vast amount of resources while all these children are dying around them.. Sounds pretty disgusting. Just keep in mind especially my fellow Americas, you are heavily targets for fundraising. These litttle babies grow up to be enormous adults that require an enormous amount of resources to live. They are already starting to violently invade villages and destroy crops and livestock. They dont like to report about that. Please think hard before mailing that check. How many sick dyjng children would love the chance to ride on an airplane to get medical help and food? I instead that treatment is reserved for beasts of the field? Cmon we can do better people!!

    OMG so beautiful! My 1st encounter with this. Such good hearted folks here. Ever since I was young I have always believed elephants are so much like humans. Probably because of how I was raised. My mom was cruel, the daily put downs "You'll never be, do or have" etc. Reminds me of how when an elephant is a baby here in the US they stake them to the ground with a rope. Growing up like that never realizing they can free themselves, if only they try. The same with people. Conditioning......Peace

      ferrygirl100 Unlike the Samburus, the Massais are by nature warfreaks - they wage wars with other tribes, including with wildlife and nature. Hence, the Massais are known for their warriors. However, they need to be educated to change their primitive belief that spearing an elephant is part of a warrior's initiation, to prive hunting prowess.

    Faraja's mother Fanella is suspected to have been speared by Massai herdsman. Some young females were taking care of Faraja as best they could, but they could not give him the milk he needed to survive and so it was decided that he should be raised by the wonderful people at the DSWT.

    @jam052647 - definitely not an expert here but in following DSWT and the elie's they care for the very last thing they will ever do is separate a baby from a family that is able to nurture it. Most certainly the mom was gone in this case and there was no milk bearing maiden that could sustain the calf so it would sadly not make it with the herd and would wind up dying in the wild - most likely to be abandoned when it got too weak, Again - I'm not 100% definitive but know their work.

    Researchers from the Bureau of African States' Tanzanian Affairs Regional Directorate have published the results of a 12 year study of organizations licensed to rescue and rehabilitate young, orphaned elephants. The report suggests methods currently employed by subject organizations are excessively expensive, inefficient, devoid of standardization, and ultimately ineffective. The directorate's report recommends abandoned, lost, or otherwise motherless infant/juvenile elephants be fustigated with cudgels. The study specifies the Louisville Slugger, Prime 917, composite model in either a 32 or 34 inch length. Once a baby elephant is crippled or rendered senseless, it should be transported to an area supporting a high concentration of lions and/or spotted hyenas. Specimens too large for transport should be beaten to death at the capture site and buried in such a way that only their tails and anuses remain above ground. Jackals, honey badgers and, in some instances, wild dogs will eat their way down a buried elephants rectum and fashion a den within the protective confines of the decedent's pelvis or rib cage.
