The Amboseli Trust for Elephants has reported 108 calves born since the beginning of March with many more elephants pregnant. Whilst it is a joy to see the elephants with so many tiny calves playing, exploring and learning to use their trunks, the charity reminds us there are still so many threats to the complex lives of elephants. Left in peace with intact families, wise matriarchs, and older experienced musth males, elephants can thrive and express their full repertoire of behaviours within that amazing and rich life. However, poaching, sport hunting, culling, conflict, and habitat loss are still disrupting elephant lives in most of Africa.
