I also foster Chemi Chemi, and am very happy that the three babies look so happy and well loved by their new elephant family in their next home. Thank you for the wonderful work you do.
I recently fostered Chemi Chemi. This clip was a true delight to see! Thanks for posting this to share the journey to the new home. The future looks bright for Chemi Chemi and the others. My heart sings!!!!!
I am glad they know that not all humans are deadly monsters. I am glad there are people of great heart like these to take action to care for those in need.
You know, I just saw something interesting for the first time. When the Ellie’s are in their stalls, how kind, quiet and gentle the keepers are to remove the stone holding the gate and then shutting the door without slamming it! That was so endearing to me to see these men treat them with such dignity, respect and love! DSWT, you’re ALL without Rival in how you take such amazing care of the Amina,s taken into your care! I pray all others come and learn how to model their programs after yours! Daphne, RIP, you e done so much amazing work and they are all carrying on Your Legacy!
But they had to say Goodbye in this process, so that he could return to care for the infants from where she had come. This was a parting again of "family", certainly family of the heart, as she had only known these infant Carers, and they were her family. I can't help but think that this bond broken by Goodbye, was yet another heavy sorrow of the heart, once again endured, in this process. It's a shame that the infant nursery and the toddler nursery are not be side by side, so that three times a week, the infant Carers could come by and say Hello to the newly graduated infants. This would assure the babies that the bond was still in force, that the love and care was still there, and that all were safe, both physically and emotionally. It would be very reassuring, and would undergird the babies' peace of mind. Having great bonds of the heart as eles do, it is terribly important if at all possible to bring these two nurseries side by side. I hope Angela is able to read this, because saying Goodbye is terribly heartbreaking for human children, and naturally much more so for the baby elephants. :(
DSWT people told that the keepers rotate between the nursery and the reintegration units, so all the keepers know all the elephants and every elephant knows every keeper...
***** Thank you for contributing that. I wish the two units were next door so that the elephants were never under the impression of someone leaving them. Until they are old enough with enough of this routine of seeing the keepers come back, they will initially think they are really leaving and that's a trauma. It's a definitive detriment to their understood peace. 😔 But thank you for sharing. I wonder how often they rotate between units.
You're welcome! :) The reason is, that the nursery is in Nairobi National Park wich is small for a full grown up elephant and for a herd, because they have to travel far distances to get food in the dry season, that's why they release them in Tsavo National Park, the greatest National Park in Kenya. And as you can see it's working so great... :)
***** Would it possible to move the nursery to Tsavo? To be close to the Reintegration Center? This would be my dream for them, that way they'd have the constancy of seeing everyone quite often. There would be stability, No Goodbyes. Elephants don't know Goodbye; it's not part of their natural lives. Goodbye is not AT ALL part of their natural makeup. > Constancy is extremely important for elephants; it's their makeup, their need, their DNA, their hearts' need and way. This is what they need. How often do the nursery keepers and the reintegration keepers rotate?
This is an incredible video because it shows the amazing strategy of the DSWT and Daphne Sheldrick's genius. The fact that these baby elephants, after meticulous care by humans, can be passed gradually back to contact with and care from former orphan adults and wild adult herds is just stunning to witness. Given that few zoos can successfully care for baby elephants, why can they not see that this is the method required. Close down zoos of all kinds. Build elephant sanctuaries and let elephants make new herds to live out their lives. Humans could just watch via cameras hung in the trees. There is no ethical argument for caging these sentient wild creatures for the entertainment and " so called conservation education" of humans looking for a fun day out. I know that DSWT is responding to poaching, a different issue, bu those of us in countries where elephants are not natural, who love this organization.. why can we not push our governments to ban using wild animals to make a buck.
So much time, effort and dedication is put into the entire process of rescuing, and then catering to the individua,l and unique needs of each, and every, new arrival, and then DSWT carefully and lovingly restore it to health , socialize it to eventually transport it to it s designated, slow release areas of Itumba or Voi , what a long process of love and care,goes into each ele.
Have there ever been any incidents with the keepers and the wild elephants. ? They always seem to mingle so easily with each other. Truly amazing. All credit to all of the humans who work so hard to rehabilitate these animals .
I know what you mean, lol. It gets me emotional too! And I'm a 42 yr old guy!!! I'm going to foster at least one of these beautiful Elephants when I'm able, and I can't wait.
The world is so grievously crazy. I'm glad the Elephants, horses and dogs, bunnies and whales aren't genetically engineered like so many people these days. Here, there are great Men who nurture these orphans that are even gorgeously organic! :)
How long do the keepers stay with the elephants to Ithumba, before returning to the orphanage? Do they stay a few days? Do the elephants grieve their loss?
I've seen this discussed at Dr.Joyce Poole's site at elephantvoices. org. I, unfortunately, can't recall what was discussed but that behavior is common,I think.
Clearly, this journey with all its engine and tire noise on the road and corresponding vibrations felt by the eles in the truck, was particularly stressful to Kalama. Having bonded to and known only the keepers at the infant nursery, there must be a process by which you all work the transition and the departure of the infant keepers back to the infant nursery. Once again, this huge life transition must include a sense of loss, having to say Goodbye to the infant keepers when they leave the babes at Ithumba. Reunited with old friends that had been at the baby nursery before them, and now surrounded with a greater number of many-sized elephants, current growing orphans, ex-orphans, and bigger wild cousins, must be very grounding and happy, reinstating the natural sense of kinship they once had with their original families. But does this having to say Goodbye to the infant keepers take a toll on them, as it may have, the greater, on little Kalama, and how is she doing today? Sincerely written here, I do hope and trust Angela or someone from DSWT will kindly take a moment to answer this earnest, empathetic inquiry. Much love, esteem, and appreciation to you all, your friend from the heart.
As I am sure you know, in Nairobi the keepers sleep in the stockades with the babies at night. The keepers rotate so they never sleep with a baby for more than one night at a time so that the babies do not form an attachment to any of the humans. They are very conscientious at DSWT and I am sure they do everything they can to look after not only the physical welfare, but the mental welfare of the ellies as well.
The care of the elephants involve many bargains, the relationship of elephants, in a struggle. The ratio of Lions is 5: 1, veicles in a lions chase is 50 units, where elephants are born, have Veterinary, if they find lions kill them, middle-aged elephants kill small lions pizoteados, there are 100 documentaries of elephants where hazards happen but in the end they are happy always kill the lions, or cats
I also foster Chemi Chemi, and am very happy that the three babies look so happy and well loved by their new elephant family in their next home. Thank you for the wonderful work you do.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for rescuing them and bringing them to safety. You are a gift to us all.
beautiful film, wonderful care givers.

It was awesome to see Lualeni and all the sweet elephants! :-)

What they do is so amazing

love!! This is so wonderful.
It's so beautiful, I am now crying of hapiness
I remember Lualeni!!
Kalama and Adan have such a strong bond. Love to see them loving each other.

I have watched this clip tens of time over the years. I just like seeing the interaction of all the groups together.
I have read your comments elsewhere, probably at ENP's videos. Or maybe at Retro videos, old clips of decades gone by. Hello.
Tarawa1943 ... good profile name!!
Same here. What a legacy.
Same especially Wendi coming over and showing them their first adult elephant since they look their mothers.

you're right, he created something really brilliant. I am impressed by the logistics that are incredibly thought-out.

, what a long process of love and care,goes into each ele.
I am fostering Mutara and hope to do another one soon. The men that work with the elephants are truly great people.
Have there ever been any incidents with the keepers and the wild elephants. ?
They always seem to mingle so easily with each other. Truly amazing.
All credit to all of the humans who work so hard to rehabilitate these animals .

"where did you bring us?" "but I like this place" "I love to be among my kind" " oh, I am so happy"
He was whispering into Benjamin's ear.
The love for and from these magnificent creatures makes me cry every time I see them. Thank you so much.
Magnificent Carers!
Amazing animals..I love them so much..
I just signed up to foster Ololoo :)
Hurray! Thank you with applause from the heart.
The world is so grievously crazy. I'm glad the Elephants, horses and dogs, bunnies and whales aren't genetically engineered like so many people these days. Here, there are great Men who nurture these orphans that are even gorgeously organic! :)
CA Catr What? People are genetically engineered? Could I be a clone?
@@fairlind 👾
@@kaythomas7918 Now there’s an emogi I’ve never seen before. Will you enlighten me?
What amazing work you do
Work done by entire team so reminds me of JFK quote..."but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."
what a great lorry
Not skipping the ads. In my own little way I want to help you all.god bless you for taking care of these babies.❤❤
Astonishing. The Place where the Planet’s Heart Grows Big. Have elephant researchers found your clips?
I love you🐘🐘🐘❤️🙏
Thankyou very much all' team members.
How long do the keepers stay with the elephants to Ithumba, before returning to the orphanage? Do they stay a few days? Do the elephants grieve their loss?
The wild elephants are becoming more and more integrated in the scene. Was the snoring sound the scream of a lion or was it an elephant snoring? 🐘🦁❤
🙏🙏🙏
Why do they always touch the private parts of another elephant? And please refrain from any sexual harassing comments.

Yes, I'm aware of all that, but your words will bless other readers who don't know those things. 😊
Can you please tell me the name of the song in the end. I’ve heard it many times on some of your videos.
