The orphaned baby elephant that was discovered by Environmental Management Conservation Trust (EMCT) personnel about three weeks ago in the Maputo Special Reserve, is still not out of the woods.

She does however need specialised care that will in all likelihood be provided at a facility in South Africa. At the moment representatives from both Mozambique and South Africa are negotiating to expedite the approval of the necessary permits to make this happen.
