Elephants! Such a special moment watching these giants enter the water hole, the young one playfully dousing itself to cool down and as they left they formed a protective circle around the little one as a jackal was squatting in the grass. I couldn't help but think that I was witnessing a moment that in the future might become quite rare. Apparantly elephants used to roam thick in the area we are now living in Kericho, Kenya. With the clear cutting of the great forests to plant perennial tea plantations (farmers only receive 14ksh per kilo of hand picked tea which is then shipped to Mombasa for processing- petrol is over $4 a gallon here) Now non native Eucalyptis speckle the landscape. This fast growing trees soak up more water from theblandsxape than any indigenous tree could ever hope to. This leads to water shortages and depletion of the soils moisture and therefore fertility. This is what happened to parts of California in Big Sur where neighbors covet and hoard water like its gold- because there is no more. What do Elephants have to do with Biocrafting? So much! Elephants are suffering due to lack of access to water just like many humans. Do you know how this happens? Lets start from the beginning. Alongside riparian zones, trees and plants are being removed Massive deforestation is happening around the world- this leads to desertification and to wild fires. Tress create weather (rain) which protects the soil and maintains this living sponge (earth) which is soil. When non-native trees replace indigenous ones there are repercussions that can change the entire ecosystem forever! This is a super oversimplified way of saying we need healthy soil to grow healthy trees, so that not only elephants can survive (over 200 elephants just perished in Zimbabwe due to drought), but also humans. . . . . . . . . . . . #elephants #bullelephant #babyelephant #elephantfamily #matriarch #waterhole #safari #mammoryglands #drinkwater #waterforelephants #waterislife #maasaimara #maa #chef #village #harmony #dreamday #specialmoments #biocraftloveselephants #savethelephants #planet #earth #ecotravel #explore #natgeo #whyfire #desertification #savesoil (at Maasai Mara Game Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B463fc8lKLS/?igshid=eg5mkbhqixzx

Today my little elephant heart is broken. I normally am very good at being able to see everyone's perspective and even if I don't agree understood how they arrived at the conclusion. There is no rhyme or reason for this! I can't believe this idiot (& there is nothing else to call him at this point) would lift the ban of elephant game hunting. They are just barely off the endangered list and some species are not! This is just utterly heart breaking and devastating for such a beautiful creature.

Happy Earth day! We need to take better care of our home. I'm grateful for the scientific community and support them in their march for science today. Love and life over money and profit. #earthday #marchforscience #pentelbrushpen #timelapsedrawing #savethelephants #elephant

Looking into the eye of an elephant is a life changing moment. It is the recognition of a complex and mysterious consciousness, a deep intelligence. On this day, and all days, we celebrate these amazing creatures. We thank all the great people we have had the privilege to meet and work with, who dedicate their lives to protecting and conserving elephants. And we give a big shout out to the intrepid trekkers who will walk across the Serengeti with us next month, on our 100 Miles for Elephants Trek. #worldelephantday #adventuresforacause #hiddenplacesadventures #hiddenplacestravel #tanzania #kenya @spaceforgiants @honeyguide_tz @elephantvoices @wildaid @savethelephants

I AM SERENGETI. As for me, I feel absolutely blessed to have the privilege of living on this earth with such magnificent beings.  Let's start this week out with a recent piece I did that compiles 3 of my photos to feature what for me, represents the essence of the soul of the living Serengeti.  The energy in this magical place is palpable, and I had never felt so completely alive and happy.  May you all have a blessed week, and may we protect and help these animals to thrive! Kudos to the amazing organizations that work on their behalf - let's support them beautiful people! From the series "INTO AFRICA"   DM for prints or checkout eliewolf.com

With extreme drought plaguing the region, wildlife populations are stressed in the park but big cats have found weakened prey. Increased traffic to the reserve, however, has created a new type challenge — unregulated tourism shadowing and stressing these large predators.
