The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a Kenyan wildlife conservation charity founded in 1977 in memory of David Sheldrick by his widow Daphne Sheldrick. It assists and advises the Kenya Wildlife Service and manages an orphanage for elephants and rhinos. This trust is reintegrating orphaned elephants back into the Kenyan wildlife,[1] and is a World Elephant Day associate.
The trust recently released a video on its YouTube channel, celebrating their 100,000th fan on Facebook.[2]
