Illegal poaching poses a serious danger to the survival of our depleting animal species. According to ilovemydogsomuch.com, Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick, a notable wildlife campaigner, has dedicated her life to caring for orphaned young elephants left orphaned by heartless poachers who slaughter adult elephants for their tusks.
In 1977, Daphne changed her emphasis to orphaned elephants. The baby elephants found it difficult to live without their moms at first. However, Daphne’s painstaking study over the years has resulted in the development of a specific feeding-milk mix that allows elephants to develop healthily.
Daphne treats all of the elephants she nurtures as if they were her children. Elephants have a strong feeling of family, which is why, whenever they encounter their adoptive mother, they race to hug her. Daphne later became aware of the large number of rhinos slaughtered for their horns. As a result, she expanded her crusade to include rhinos.
When the animals raised by Daphne are mature enough, they are reintegrated back into their native environment. Unfortunately, because to its appeal on the illicit market, the ivory tusk trade and other forbidden animal-based smuggling thrive, putting these creatures at risk. Let us join together to put a stop to this heinous trade.
