Video by amivitale / Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (r.e.s.c.u.e) keeper Naomi Leshongoro sings to the orphaned baby elephants in her care as she leaves for the day. What’s happening at Reteti, 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. Reteti lies within a 975,000-acre (400,000 ha) swath of thorny scrubland in northern Kenya known as the Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust—part of the ancestral homeland of the Samburu people—and it's leading a worldwide movement in community-based conservation. Please follow amivitale and r.e.s.c.u.e to learn how to support the sanctuary. sararafoundation conservationorg kenyawildlifeservice nrt_kenya tusk_org thephotosociety #elephant #saveelephants #stoppoaching #kenya #empathyiseverything
