The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust at Nairobi in Kenya cares for elephant orphans taken from their mother.

NaturePL photographer Lisa Hoffner has spent several years documenting the vital work of the elephant orphanage where dedicated keepers rehabilitate the traumatised young elephants, so that eventually they can return to the wild.
