問題詳情
Zoe was just 2 weeks old when she was spotted wandering in a village market near Kenya’s Tsave National Park inDecember, 1995. Zoe’s mother had died and the baby was left alone. She was no ordinary orphan: she was an elephant. So shewas trucked to a most unusual orphanage in Nairobi, run by a woman named Daphne Sheldrick. Daphne’s husband. David Sheldrick, founded Tsavo National Park. Daphne has been working with wild animals for some60 years, and in 1977 she opened the elephant orphanage at her home in Nairobi. As of 1997, the orphanage, which depends onprivate contributions, has saved more than 100 infants. Zoe was rather healthy when she was found, and once under the care of the orphanage she was very happy, consumingsix gallons of vitamin-rich mile a day and earning a reputation as a confident, naughty and mischievous youngster. After a yearin the orphanage with the constant companionship of her human family, Zoe was taken to a refuge at Tsavo National Park. There her keepers have gradually introduced her to the ways of the wild, helping her to find food and water. Zoe livestogether with other elephant youngsters in a reserved area. It may take some years, but the final aim is to release all of them to a wild herd. Daphne said that her dream for the future is to see ivory banned, all stored ivory destroyed and no one wearing an ivoryornament ever again. “There will always be competition for land,” she explained, “but we can guard elephants in the parks andgive the young a chance.”
