Love, Life, and Elephants with Dame Daphne Sheldrick

Featured in the Museum’s current IMAX film, Born To Be WildDaphne Sheldrick is an extraordinary conservationist — the first person to successfully hand-rear newborn elephants, thanks largely to the formula she perfected to mimic a mother elephant’s milk. For over four decades, she has devoted her life to rescuing orphaned animals in East Africa and preparing them, by hand, for return to the wild on her elephant orphanage near Nairobi, Kenya. Join us as she discusses her new book Love, Life, and Elephants: An African Love Story. A book signing with Sheldrick will follow.
