Another Sunday, the 15th March 2009, and yet another Elephant Rescue alert, this time again from the area around the Kirisia Hills near Maralal in Northern Kenya. The casualty this time was a 5 month old bull calf who became hopelessly bogged in the mud of a drying waterhole of an area known as Baawa during the night of 14 /15th March, and was found in the morning by Samburu cattle herders. They, in turn alerted the Chief, who was reluctant to save the calf at first because of a recent incident, a week before, where a man was killed by an elephant. He was persuaded by KWS Rangers that the calf must not simply be left to die, but should be rescued. These particular KWS Rangers, and indeed the KWS Warden of the Area, are familiar with the Trust's Orphans' Programme, and they not only orchestrated the rescue of the calf, but drove him to Mugie airfield to link up with the Rescue Plane sent from Nairobi.
