Aura was just a newborn when we filmed this. She is the offspring of an orphan we rescued and raised. Aura and her mum, Arruba, live wild but regularly visit us; a privilege we never take for granted. More miracles that make all our work worth it: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves

The best part about being an elephant Keeper? Watching an orphan you raised rejoin the wild – and go on to start a family of their own. Join the family and help us create new dynasties in the wild: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans
"Little Serenget has got her leafy kingdom, and she's ruling it one munch at a time." – Keeper Walter It was a routine water delivery that saved Serenget's life. Seven months recovering at Voi. Now out, settled, and Rokka rarely leaves her side. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/serenget
Hands up anyone who's a grandparent? So are we. To 92 elephant calves. We've pioneered the rescue and reintegration of orphaned elephants – so successfully, they've been fully accepted by wild herds. Since the door home is always left open, we get to witness playtimes like this all the time.
Meet Little Serenget – and her singular drinking style. Seven months ago, she arrived with a bullet wound. Today, her Keepers have mastered a new milk-feeding technique on her behalf. If she's happy, we're happy. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/serenget
When an orphaned elephant loses their mother, we step in to offer hope and a family. Kaikai, rescued as a newborn, wanted constant physical touch and to know she was at the centre of her Keepers' universe – which she was! The care they receive helps ensure they can return to the wild.
Korbessa arrived at Kaluku as the smallest orphan in the group — and promptly took charge of all of it. She still runs the show two years later. Though the Keepers have noticed a developing maternal streak alongside the bossiness. She is growing up. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/korb...
Throwback to Tytan's first 24 hours. After his mother fell off a cliff, the seven-month-old made it to her body, then disappeared. Rangers, aircraft and drones searched. He was wild-eyed and wary – until scratches won him over and he leaned in. Hands up – which rescue stories have stayed with you?
Tourists reported Wangalla alone — a tiny baby in a big wilderness, crying for her mum, seeking shelter among a herd of zebra. Today she has Misheck. When dusk falls, he prepares her freshly-cut branches while she paddles around. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/wangalla
A breakfast of champions. Juni was rescued in 2022 from the reeds at Lake Jipe – a drought orphan with an advanced urinary tract infection. Six weeks of recovery later, she walked out among our Voi herd as if she'd always been one of the family. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/juni
The youngest member of the Kaluku herd, Kaikai approaches every day with the energy of a tiny force of nature – her Keepers describe her as quick-witted, curious, and utterly convinced she is the centre of the universe. Rescued days old from the Mara. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/kaikai

The President changes his mind multiple times in the same hour on the same day about the same subject. His whims are destroying our economy.

Ossoff: "It makes a difference who represents us. When you sent me and Sen. Warnock to the Senate, we capped the cost of insulin at $35. And when Donald Trump and his allies took power again, they threw hundreds of thousands of Georgians off their health insurance. The contrast could not be clearer"
A protest rally is being held in Tbilisi on Georgia Independence Day, organized by the opposition alliance. The march began a short while ago. People are protesting against the anti-Western political course of Georgian Dream. #GeorgiaProtests Day 545
Best economy ever🫠 where young Americans need $4,500 a month just to exist, pay $350 for bare‑bones health insurance, and still think about fleeing the country for a chance at stability. Premium prices, bargain‑bin futures. #WeCantAffordTrump

On 5/28 at Delaney Hall, a cellist played thru the entire evening protest — never stopped, even when State Police moved in & chaos broke out. He was eventually arrested. (Credit: Carrie Hittel). Music has been an inspiration for protesting & resistance. It can also bring calm during turbulent times

Was ich an dieser Stelle der Nordreportage mag? Sie adressiert die Probleme, die Autos uns seit Jahrzehnten mit immer mehr Wucht in unserem Alltag schaffen. Dennoch ist die tägliche Debatte eher von EscooterBashing geprägt. Ich wünschte, wir alle, die unter der Autodominanz leiden, wären eine Lobby.
