Photo by @amivitale for @natgeo. At Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e) in Northern Kenya, Mary Lengees, one of Reteti's first female elephant keepers, caresses Suyian, the first resident. Suyian was rescued in September 2016 when she was just four weeks old. @sararacamp @nrt_kenya @lewa_wildlife @conservationorg @tusk_org @kenyawildlifeservice @sandiegozoo @natgeo @natgeocreative @thephotosociety @nikonusa @nature_africa #worldenvironmentday #elephant #saveelephants #retetielephants #stoppoaching #kenya #northernkenya #magicalkenya #whyilovekenya #africa #everydayafrica #nikonusa #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #nikonambassador #nikond5s #photojournalism #amivitale @girlupcampaign
