The Rescue of Bongo | Sheldrick Trust

Here you can watch a short film about Bongo, one of the DSWT's newest elephant arrivals at the Nairobi Nursery in Kenya. You will see how he was rescued and why is was brought into the care of the DSWT. Please find out more about the DSWT here www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
