Photo by amivitale / Sera and Kiltimani comfort each other at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (r.e.s.c.u.e) in northern Kenya. Elephants are among the world's most intelligent species. They express a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, altruism, use of tools, compassion, self-awareness, memory, and language. Reteti is the first community-owned elephant sanctuary in Africa. What’s happening out there, without fanfare, is nothing less than the beginnings of a transformation. 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. Follow amivitale and r.e.s.c.u.e to learn more, including how you can help. kenyawildlifeservice thephotosociety #protectelephants #elephants #stoppoaching #kenya #empathyiseverything
