Rapid-response mobile for Reteti
Aug 21, 2025
In January 2023, under the Environmental & conservation category, we supported Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Africa's first Indigenous community-owned elephant sanctuary. Dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, Reteti gives these animals a 2nd chance to live wild and free. This August, in honour of World Elephant Day, they announced an exciting new project: a Rapid-Response Mobile Vet Unit. This will bring urgent care to injured or traumatised wildlife across Northern Kenya faster than ever. As shown in the video, when the call for help comes in, Reteti's team races across 850,000 acres of rugged wilderness to save elephants in crisis.
