One year ago one of our field partners in Sumatra , the Elephant Response Unit (ERU) in Way Kambas National Park, found a very thin wild elephant calf roaming alone. To ensure the calf’s survival it was rescued by the ERU team who brought it to camp where their continued intensive care and medical treatments have helped the now 4 year old male calf heal. The calf, named Gading, is doing very well and his condition has greatly improved.
We are pleased to support emergency rescues by contributing to veterinary care and supplemental fodder for these orphans.
