Ami VitaleDorothy Lowakutuk describes the story of Kapai, the matriarch of the orphaned herd of elephants who recently returned back into the wild from Reteti elephant sanctuary in northern Kenya. As they were released, most of the elephants walked out of the enclosure without looking back. Kapai was the last to leave. She lingered, turned around, and reached out her trunk, as if to say a final goodbye. The keepers were in tears, and Dorothy, through her own tears, gave an emotional farewell: “I will miss them. They will be fine. I know they will… They become a part of you… It feels like letting go of your children.” Listen to her emotional story about the early days when Kapai first arrived at the sanctuary and learn more about the incredible keepers at Reteti, whose unwavering dedication has made Reteti’s historic release possible! @Vital Impacts was honored to support @RetetiElephants in their work to release these elephants back to the wild.
