Photo by amivitale / A wild bull elephant visits a watering hole in the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, in northern Kenya. In the 1990s elephant populations in this region had been heavily poached. Thanks to community-based conservation here, the elephants have made an extraordinary comeback. Today the area contains Kenya's second largest population of elephants, more than 8,700 according to the most recent census. It is truly amazing how resilient nature is when we give it a chance.
