Photo by amivitale / Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (r.e.s.c.u.e) keeper Lemarash is greeted by one of the orphaned elephants in his care. Matiba watches from behind. Reteti is the first ever community-owned elephant sanctuary in Africa. All of the keepers here come from the local Samburu community. “We take care of the elephants, and the elephants are taking care of us,” explained one of the keepers. “We now have a relationship between us.” Please follow amivitale and r.e.s.c.u.e to learn how to support the sanctuary. sararafoundation conservationorg kenyawildlifeservice nrt_kenya tusk_org sandiegozoo thephotosociety #elephant #saveelephants #stoppoaching #kenya #empathyiseverything
