Description: Early morning, on 10th September 2021, wild-living orphan Makena arrived at the Ithumba Stockades with a newborn bundle of joy by her side. This is the moment we met her calf, since named Mumo by her Keepers. UPDATE: We are saddened to announce that Mumo passed away a few days following her birth. We've shared a full update behind the devastating news at: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/makenas-heartbreaking-loss Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
