A herd of 12 African elephant who were in urgent need of a new home in South Africa have been saved in the 11th hour.
Louise Joubert, founder of SanWild wildlife and rhino sanctuary, had posted a plea on Facebook for help in sourcing a new home, ideally a private reserve, for the small herd who were suddenly without a home.
“As SanWild is already home to a small group we unfortunately cannot bring in another herd unless we can increase our land size in the future,” Louise said at the time.
The criteria for a new safe home was strict, including that the herd of 12 adult cows, bulls and calves could not be split up.
Minutes ago Louise received confirmation that a reserve has agreed to take the elephants!
The difficulty in finding a home does highlight how necessary organisations like Louise’s SanWild Sanctuary are…and how with more land, the Sanctuary team could save more of South Africa’s precious wildlife.
