Inspirational Rescue of a Baby Elephant Trapped in a Well

We rescued this young eight months old calf early this week. Luckily the report came early in the morning and we were able to get there quick before the mother was forced to leave by herders arriving to water their cattle. It was a happy ending as we were able to reunite the calf with her mother, Zombe.
