Elephant Orphanage
 

:coolsmiley: Today's Daily Sun has a picture from the Sheldrick Center on page A-3 top right corner. The picture is of the symbols for the two major political parties in the U.S. :1rotfl:

The David Sheldrake Wildlife Trust in Nairobi,Kenya is an outstanding organization I have been donating to for quite some time.....the general public has no idea how traumatizing it is for a baby elephant to be removed from it's mother everybody should "sponsor/adopt an orphan" today!!

I'd rather, and have, sponsor a human orphan....money better spent.

There is a place for every altruistic dollar donated. BBC - Future - Jumbo-gardeners: How elephants affect weather

"The tropical rainforests of Africa and Asia play a crucial role in keeping our planet healthy. They moderate our climate, absorb the carbon we produce, and act as a major source of atmospheric moisture – which can fall as rain many miles away.

In this film, The Nature Conservancy’s lead scientist Dr M Sanjayan, Dr Valerie Kapos of the UN Environment Programme, and tropical field biologist and conservationist Dr Ian Redmond reveal the crucial role that elephants play in keeping these forests strong and resilient, and how elephants are the most important player when it comes to the diversity of tree species in the rainforest."

You're well named.:ohdear:

apparently some people relate to animals better than their own species :cryin2:
