When the night fell over the Nairobi Nursery, the air was filled with heartbreaking cries. Several baby elephants — recently rescued after losing their mothers to poaching — couldn’t stop calling out into the darkness, their tiny trunks reaching for comfort that wasn’t there.

But they weren’t alone. The devoted caretakers from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) stayed by their side all night, whispering soft words and gently touching their foreheads — the same way a mother elephant would comfort her calf in the wild.
