Reteti Sanctuary: Kenya's Indigenous-Led Elephant Conservation Effort

In Kenya, there's a special place called Reteti Elephant Sanctuary where people from the Samburu tribe take care of baby elephants that have lost their families.

They feed these elephants with milk from goats, which is a good substitute for elephant milk.

More than 1,200 women from the tribe sell milk from their goats to the sanctuary every day.

This helps the women earn money and become more independent.

The sanctuary also employs about 100 people from the tribe.

A group called Uplift Travel organizes trips to Kenya where people can see the wildlife and learn about the conservation efforts.

They also support projects that help women and girls in the community.

During these trips, people can see elephants, lions, giraffes, and other animals.

They also stay in nice places that support the local communities.

The trips can cost around $9,000 for two weeks, including hotels, meals, and guides.
