Name a Baby Elephant

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to name a wild-born elephant calf

A miracle has unfolded in the heart of Kafue National Park.


Chamilandu - one of GRI’s first orphaned elephants to be fully released into the wild - has given birth to a healthy baby girl completely unassisted, in the wild, surrounded by both released and wild elephants. It’s an extraordinary milestone for elephant conservation, a living symbol of recovery after decades of poaching.
