Synopsis

For over 40 years, Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick has been pioneering the science of raising orphaned elephants, so that one day, they may rejoin wild herds. Over the past half-century, the once infinite-seeming population of Africa's elephants has dwindled to less than 10% of their original numbers. Today, Dr. Sheldrick's knowledge has become a critical part of the battle to save the elephants from extinction. Flanked by her family and a team of anti-poaching rangers, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust confronts the perpetrators in the bush and rescues the young of fallen elephants, who gain a loving human family and a cohort of fellow orphans, in preparation to eventually go back to the wild.
