Photos by David Chancellor @chancellordavid | At the Nanapa Conservancy, in northern Kenya, a bull elephant is caught in sinking mud at the edge of a dam. A herder spots it and immediately goes to find a community ranger. The ranger notifies his control room. The rangers mobilize with support from Loisaba conservancy @loisaba_conservancy and the Northern Rangelands Trust @nrt_kenya, including Kieran Avery, whose work I’ve been documenting. He’s the one seen digging it out. The elephant, now exhausted and severely dehydrated, is part dug out and part dragged out of the mud that would surely have been his grave. Then, having been washed down, it got up, gave itself a good shake, and wandered off for a spot of browsing.
The point here is not only that the elephant is now alive and well, but that all these organizations, although operating in extraordinarily remote parts of Kenya, are able to communicate, plan, support, and action the rescue of this incredible creature. It's been a Herculean task to get to this point. The point, my point, is that it takes money to do this, and to maintain the infrastructure to support it. Without income from tourism in this part of the world, this is going to get increasingly difficult to replicate. It’s vital we keep supporting those who support them on our behalf.
