Consider fostering an orphaned baby elephant as a novel Valentine's Day gift this year. A tiny newborn elephant is orphaned, often its mother and family gunned down to serve the Ivory trade,or as a result of human wildlife conflict. its life support gone; its fate now suffering and death in hopeless and lonely isolation it cannot understand. For an elephant, the family is all important; its very existence dependent upon its mother's milk for the first two years of life and a life that should span three score years and ten, equivalent to that of man. In a perfect world that elephant life would be filled with fun and joy through the companionship of friends and a close-knit and loving family, whose love is pure and unconditional all the days of its life. "Please help us help an orphaned elephant by fostering one of the orphans directly through our website as a gift of life" Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick
