VOICED : Sanctuary offers

The video discusses the severe impact of poaching on elephant populations, highlighting that 95% of orphaned elephants at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage are victims of poaching. The demand for ivory, particularly in China and the Far East, has led to a significant decline in elephant numbers. Conservationists warn that without intervention, elephants could become extinct in Africa within a decade. The David Sheldrick Trust is actively working to save orphaned elephants and is campaigning for a total ban on ivory sales. Despite challenges, there is hope for the elephants' return to the wild.
