Tsavo Trust

“Many people didn’t realize that these elephants actually existed” With ivory to the ground and weighing at least 100 lbs per tusk, the ’super tusker‘ elephant is the closest thing to a pre-historic creature that still resides on this planet. Yet, there only remain a handful of them in Kenya as they face immense pressure and challenges. This is the story of the few remaining super tuskers in Kenya and those who work to protect them. The elephants symbolize an important conversation about the fight for space between humans and all wildlife as our global population continues to increase. We hope this film reminds us of the extraordinary living creatures that we share on this planet of ours – and that its existence is one worth fighting for.
