ORPHAN ELEPHANT ADOPTION

CHIkumbi

Chikumbi was left behind as her herd moved

past villages in the Rufunsa region of Luangwa

at only 4 months old. She was screaming for her

mother but none of the elephants took notice,

and she was too slow to keep up with the fastmoving

herd. She became disorientated,

running through Chikumbi Village as she was

left alone.

LUDAKA

For 4 days, a 2 and a half year old Ludaka wandered alone before our NGO partner, Game Rangers International sent their wildlife rescue team rushed to his aid.

NKALA

Traumatised by losing his mother, during his first month of care, Nkala looked depressed, and struggled to socialise with the orphan herd.

In Collaboration with Game Rangers International (GRI), The Elephant Foundation is committed to empowering Rangers and protecting endangered species to conserve nature.

GRI is a Zambian non-profit organization founded in 2008. GRI collaborates closely with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) to equip Rangers and Local Communities with the tools they need to protect the environment.
