几世纪以来,残酷的象牙交易让非洲陷入了大象灭绝的漩涡。近几年来,动物保育意识不断抬升,然而,为了满足贸易需求,非法捕猎象牙的行为还是难以转变的现实梦魇。天天上演的惨剧,除了杀害无以计数的大象,更让许多小象成为无人关照的孤儿。

令人庆幸的是,一位女勇士决定把生命奉献给这些无依无靠的年幼孤儿。

Thankfully, one woman has dedicated her life to caring for those elephants whose families were so cruelly taken from them.

自1977年起,她便以先生的名义创立大卫谢尔德里克野生动物基金会 (David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust),帮助年幼大象宝宝与其他象牙交易底下受害的动物找回新的家。

Since 1977, the <a href="http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org" target="_blank">David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust</a>, founded in her husband's name by Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick, has worked to save the lives of young elephants and other animals affected by this terrible trade.

位于西查弗 (Tsavo),肯亚的大象孤儿院日常工作为努力营救受伤的大象,并疗愈他们身心的创伤。

大象其实跟我们一样情感丰富,目睹他们身边的亲朋好友一个个去世,经历过的痛苦与哀伤令人难以想像。

Like us, they experience pain and grieve when faced with the death of those close to them.

然而,随着时间慢慢地融入新家环境,朋友也成为新的家人。

But at the facility, they learn to heal and form new families.

透过不断研究,谢尔德里克太太研发出与母象成分相近的配方,以便喂养2岁以下的小象,让他们可以在最佳状态下成长茁壮。

Through her studies, Sheldrick was able to develop an essential formula for the mother's milk young elephants rely on for nutrients in the first two years of their lives.

在肯亚长大,她对这片土地有着深厚的情谊,也对保育类动物情有独钟。

Raised in Kenya, her passion for the endangered animals has been a lifelong endeavor.

对她来说,这是一场战役,不到最后一刻,她也不会放弃。

过去几年来,有超过150只大象孤儿在这儿健康成长。

Over the years, they have raised more than 150 orphaned elephants into healthy adulthood.

这些大象一旦准备好,就可以重回西查弗区的野生家庭,进而繁衍出美丽的后代。

Once they're ready, the elephants are reintroduced into the wild herds of the area, where they can contribute to the repopulation of their beautiful species.

他们的终极目标是要完全禁止象牙交易,让大象留条活路,安全地长大。

Their ultimate goal is to outlaw the horrific ivory trade completely and allow elephants a chance to live in safety.

尽管基金会与其他团体不断努力争取权益,当地政府也跟着一起响应,把非法象牙放火销毁,象牙的市价仍然超越黄金。

Despite efforts by the organization and others, like this photo of the Kenyan government destroying poached tusks, the market for ivory is currently worth more than gold.
