Elephant Story 🐘😍on

📸 Bubi & Khanyisa in South-Africa

❓Who is Bubi

➡️ Bubi lost her mother to poachers, so she was orphaned at a young age, just like Khanyisa.

➡️ Bubi was part of the original herd that was rescued from Zimbabwe and brought to the Jabulani reserve by Adine Roode’s mother Lente.

❓Why is Bubi important for baby elephant Khanyisa

➡️ Being orphan herself, Bubi accepted Khanyisa into the Herd, unlike wild elephants would do.

➡️ She is an adoring allomother and gives Khanyisa the love she would normally have received from her own mother.

❓Why does this matter

➡️ The presence of the Jabulani herd is important for the orphans arriving at the HERD orphanage as they deserve a second life in a new herd.

➡️ The Jabulani elephants trust us as humans, even after being orphaned due to poaching and other conflicts with humans.

➡️ Elephants are part of our natural capital and we as humans have a collective responsibility towards them.
