Loving this♥♥♥🙏 Credit © 🎬 ✅ @elephant_stories_with_fiona at @sheldricktrust ✒ I love the sequence here...... the orphan baby elephants are coming into their stockades for their 5.00pm feed..... however you can see from the videos, 2 older orphans tried it on for a milk bottle, they are appearing very nonchalant here....it is #mondaymilkmadness with a twist. If you have a moment please watch this play out and the rumbles like teenagers as they are lead back to their own space! Backstory here, this is 2 years ago at #sheldrickwildlifetrust Ithumba reintegration unit. As I say... the more I watch the more I see..... I had missed this exchange. Thank you Happy Monday friends. #elephants #africanelephant #orphanbabyelephants #fosteranorphanelephant #fosterparents #banivory #banculling #bantrophyhunting #banhunting #botswana #itseasywithmasisi #elephantstorieswithfiona @sheldricktrust https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqc4Dlhp2X/?igshid=1byu4ufthqtpa

📷@colby.davidson ・・・ M U R E R A . . . This is my and @rhime8's oprhan. She's sassy. She swings her head around in a chaotic movement when she finishes eating or when she gets really excited. She whacks you with her trunk, ears and tusks quite often, especially her ears. She also has a bum back leg from trying to pull out a poisoned spike after she stepped on it as a young calf. (Poachers bury them in the ground along elephant trails) She's also VERY photogenic. At some point you'll see one of our selfies. It's beautiful. . . @dswtfosterparents @arkwear @wildnetorg @ @world_wildlife @africanwildlifefoundation @wildaid @thewildlifespiritafrica @@conservationorg @savetheelephants @nrt_kenya @thewcs @thewildlifespiritafrica @capturethewild @biglifeafrica #elephant #bathtime #tusks #trunk #pachyderm #moment #conservation #threatenedspecies #worldelephantday #connection #handsoffourelephants #worthmorealive #noivory #banivory #nikon #nikonnofilter #withmytamron ・・・・・・ 📷 photo credit : @colby.davidson 🐘🌱🌍 @dswt www.dswt.org/foster

“Never Forget” By Jennifer Sanchez An elephant never forgets, especially those who witness the death of their own kind lulled by man’s greed and power. We are taking away the very thing that helps these elephants in their daily lives. Ivory isn’t a prized possession to take for our ourselves. It isn’t something to be worn, to decorate a home, nor is it something to claim as our own to show off. Hunting can be an addiction for those who do it, and they all start by saying “I only just want one.” One is never enough for anyone, is it? For each life that is taken, their cries will be heard, and the shadows of innocence will remain. From young to old they will remember man’s terrible deeds, which is why we must do all we can to keep these African elephants alive. Don’t forget, protect. #africanelephant #africanelephants #elephantlibe #elephantart #wildlifeart #animalart #elephantpainting #savetheelephants ##neverforget #babyelephants #babyelephant #endivorytrade #ivorytrade #banivory #banivorytrade #wildaid #careforwild #orphanelephants #babyofmine #motherandbaby #motherandchild #acrylicpaint #acrylicpainting #illustration #illustrationpainting #endpoaching

One more from Amazing © 🎬 🖋✅ @elephant_stories_with_fiona ❤❤❤❤❤ You can feel the power as they walk in. A small family lead by the powerful strides of a Matriarch. You can sense they are wary, ears flaring, slightly agitated as they amble forward. It’s becoming dusk at #ithumba. The truck has delivered much needed water to the watering hole. Fresh water provided by the conservation efforts of the #sheldrickwildlifetrust in East Tsavo., #Kenya The mighty elephant. Let them be safe. Let them roam free as they do in Kenya. A nation which recognises and acts upon ethical wildlife conservation. There is no such thing as “too many elephants”. Whoever came up with this line inorder to introduce hunting is a people pleaser. Where I don’t think it’s all about the money, it’s the power which politics brings. The leadership and the privileges. It’s ego which gives away the lives of elephants and wildlife, where no deep upstanding of the land and the wildlife seems to prevail within, where politicians wield their power like an axe as they grind their fists for authority. Wake up.....because when the tourists leave all you will have left are hunters. No one likes a trophy hunter. They bring death. They bring blood and they take your treasures. #bantrophyhunting #banhunting #botswana #southafrica #namibia #zimbabwe #zambia #tanzania #africa #america #conservation #ivorybelongsonelephants #banivory #elephants #africanelephant #elephantstorieswithfiona https://www.instagram.com/p/B3eRpGbhBGU/?igshid=1ib46othwpb24

#Repost @claireskiwoo ・・・ Can we hit 8000 signatures? 💜🐘 This is Galla. He's an orphan elephant who I foster. He will turn 3 years old on Christmas Day! Galla lives in safety @dswt with his family of other orphans and keepers. Galla's future is under new threat. The U.S. government is preparing to pass a Bill that will secure the extinction of African elephants like Galla. Don Young, Republican for Alaska introduced H.R. 226; the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act. This Bill would allow ivory to be traded both, within the U.S. and also to be imported and exported. This is despite the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banning the sale of elephant ivory in interstate commerce. Conservation experts agree that any trade in ivory only serves to undermine efforts to stop poaching and trophy hunting as it keeps the demand for ivory alive. This Bill is entirely audacious because it uses legitimate elephant conservation measures as a thin veil of justification for trophy hunting and ivory trading. Anti-poaching units/programs are exploited in this Bill by painting a picture that anti-poaching measures can work alongside trophy hunting. This is a gross fabrication. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If poaching/hunting continues, the African elephant could be extinct by 2020 (WildAid, 2014). Please help to stop this Bill from being passed and written into legislation by clicking on the 🆘🆘⚠LINK IN MY BIO @claireskiwoo to sign the petition.
