Naomi, a senior women elephant keeper, sings to one of the older orphan calves at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, central Kenya, on February 26, 2020. The community-owned and run elephant sanctuary within the Namunyak conservancy in central Kenya, gives care to abandoned or orphaned elephant calves and conditions them for release back to the wild as they approach four-years-old. The sancturay also benefits the local Samburu people who live alongside the animals, and who are seen as an expanding community-driven grassroots conservation movement in northern Kenya. Each year, some five to ten elephants calves are rescued from a population of around 8,700. (Photo by Tony Karumba/AFP Photo)
