The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust shared the most beautiful video called Every Step of an Orphanโs Journey. What touched me most wasnโt just these precious little lives losing their mothersโฆ it was the dedication behind the scenes. These Keepers give their hearts completely to these babies, and a lot of the time it is 24/7. Day and night feedings, comfort, patience, protection, pulling up a place on the floor with them, and love through every fragile step of recovery. These elephants arrive terrified, grieving, sick, and aloneโฆ and somehow these incredible humans help them learn to feel safe and loved again. They give them another family to grow up with and eventually join a herd in the wild to continue the life they were born to live. Itโs easy to forget that conservation is not just about saving animals. Itโs also about the people willing to dedicate their lives to them. This is one of the reasons I created Empowering Animals. To share the stories behind the organizations, the people, and the animals that remind us how much compassion still exists in this world. Just wanted to share something beautiful today. โค๏ธ https://youtu.be/eh8PYUyPcdo?si=vjYcb0lnqdGd3Fyd
