Conservation Foundation, Daphne Sheldrick rehabilitates baby elephants and other
wildlife here at her home just outside of Nairobi National Park. These babies have
lost their mothers to poaching, death, injuries, on getting lost in the wild or other
tragedies. Daphne and her dedicated staff raise them to be released back into the
