'They don't ever forget those that have raised them.' This elephant orphanage in Kenya's Nairobi National Park was the first organization in the world to successfully raise milk-dependent orphans by hand and reintegrate them back into the wild:
"Through the nursery here we've raised over 244 elephants," the trust's CEO, Angela Sheldrick, tells CNN Travel. Elephants orphaned though poaching, habitat destruction and human-wildlife conflict are picked up by rescue teams and looked after by the keepers here.
It takes time and patience to introduce them to living independently. Says Sheldrick."Like your own kids, they don't fly the nest quickly. They need to have that confidence." The process takes up to 10 years, but the nursery's alumni is blossoming. There are now close to 150 rehabilitated orphans, with 30 known calves of their own.
"When my mum was pioneering this she was the first person in the world to raise an infant elephant," says Sheldrick."It was difficult. One didn't have the Internet; one didn't have the benefit of anyone having done it before. It's quite remarkable how far we've come."
