The Tsavo Orphans
Created by Channel G, a 501c3 non profit
organisation, this short format documentary
highlights the work of the DSWT in the rescue and
rehabilitation of orphan animals and the
protection of Kenya's wilderness. Channel G have
donated the film to us and will use it themselves
to generate awareness of the plight facing Kenya's
wildlife and our efforts to it. |

Elephant
Orphans
Since 1987, we have successfully hand-reared more
than 70 orphaned elephants and 17 black rhino
orphans. Rescued baby elephants and rhinos are
first taken to our nursery in Nairobi National
Park, where we begin the difficult task of rearing
these babies, so that they might return to the
wild when grown. In this clip the head keeper at
our Nairobi Nursery talks a little about what is
involved in caring for fragile baby elephants.

Anti-Poaching
We currently operate seven anti-poaching teams
tasked with protecting wildlife and tackling the
illegal bushmeat trade. This film provides insight
into the work of our anti-poaching teams,
including the removal of illegal snares and the
arrest poachers.

Community
Outreach
We are becoming increasingly active within
communities bordering Kenya’s National Parks,
where incidents of human-wildlife conflict are
most common. We work closely with communities and
schools to develop an understanding of our work
and the value of wildlife and habitats – as the
future of wildlife is ultimately in the hands of
the people.

Other
Assistance
Kenya’s wildlife comes under the protection of the
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). We work closely with
this organisation to help them protect all
wildlife and assist them in carrying out their
role. This film shows a little of what it is we
are able to do to help the KWS. |

Elephant Diaries
BBC Worldwide has produced a series of 26 short films, taken from its
television series 'Elephant Diaries'. The films provide a taster for
the full series and a unique insight into our orphans' project. The
short films are all available to watch on YouTube and we have provided
here the link to the first film.
