Photo by amivitale | Mary Lengees, one of Reteti Elephant Sanctuary’s first women keepers, stays with Suyian, the sanctuary’s very first rescue. Suyian was rescued in September 2016, when she was just four weeks old. In those initial days after intake, keepers stay with the orphaned baby elephants around the clock to offer comfort and ensure that the calf gets any medical attention it needs. This oasis where orphans grow up, learning to be wild so that one day they can rejoin their herds, is as much about the people as it is about elephants.
