SWT

For the love of elephants and Kenyan wildlife

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) is a wildlife conservation organization based in Kenya.

Founded in 1977 by Daphne Sheldrick in memory of her late husband, David, a famous Tsavo park ranger, the SWT primarily focuses on the protection and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants and rhinos as well as general wildlife conservation.

The mission of the SWT is to preserve endangered species and their natural habitat while raising public awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation. The organization strives to promote harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. The SWT deploys a variety of programs and activities to accomplish its mission, including: an elephant and rhino orphanage.

The SWT team rescues and rehabilitates orphaned babies whose mothers have often been victims of poaching. The SWT has real expertise in this area. With a lot of love and patience, the members of the team succeed in giving back the taste for life to babies who are often traumatized and very fragile. Once the young elephants are independent, they are reintroduced into the wild.

The SWT also has mobile veterinary teams who intervene to treat injured or sick animals in the wild. In collaboration with the authorities, the SWT organizes patrols to combat poaching and protect endangered species. It also works to protect and restore natural habitats, essential for the survival of many wild species. It conducts educational campaigns to raise awareness among local communities and the general public of the importance of wildlife conservation.

The SWT constructs and maintains water points to ensure that wildlife has sufficient water, especially during periods of drought. Since its inception, the SWT has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of orphaned elephants, contributing significantly to the conservation of this iconic species. The organization’s work has also saved many other animals and protected thousands of acres of natural habitats.

To support the SWT you can sponsor an orphaned baby and make a financial donation, just like Miloa.

The SWT needs you!
