Impressive pictures of a unique project&,nbsp,that makes the
consequences of poaching abundantly clear With a foreword by Dame
Daphne Sheldrick,&,nbsp,founder of the David Sheldrick Wildlife
Trust &,nbsp, Because elephants are pachyderms, a combination
of two Greek roots meaning “thick skin,”&,nbsp,one might think
that nothing bothers them and that they lead quiet, safe lives.
Nothing could be further from the truth: elephants have been hunted
and killed for their ivory tusks since antiquity. And people often
ignore the calves left behind, who must now live out their lives as
traumatized and fearful orphans. Wildlife photographer Joachim
Schmeisser made it his mission to document the story of these
abandoned baby elephants. Through his sponsorship of elephants, he
came into contact with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the
world’s largest and most successful rescue and rehabilitation
operation for orphaned elephants, headquartered in Nairobi.
Professional veterinary technicians bottle feed the elephant calves
until they are old enough to locate their own food. By living
together with older elephant calves, they also learn the social
rules governing elephant herds. After this phase is complete, the
elephants are taken to one of the Trust’s rehabilitation stockades
before they are released back into the wild. Joachim Schmeisser
followed numerous elephants through the entire process and captured
fascinating pictures from their arrival at the nursery all the way
to their release back into the wild.&,nbsp,Elephants in
Heaven&,nbsp,provides a visual record of how these traumatized
elephants are raised in a place that is truly heavenly for them,
offering a compelling behind-the-scenes look inside an elephant
nursery. The touching animal portraits also convey the devastating
consequences of poaching, because for Joachim Schmeisser, it’s
about “beauty, fragility, transience, mindfulness, and about
dignity and the equal standing of each individual.”
&,nbsp,JOACHIM SCHMEISSER&,nbsp,began his professional
career as an advertising photographer. But in addition to his paid
work, he always pursued side projects that had personal meaning to
him, particularly those relating to humanity and topics relevant to
society. He has won many international awards for his work,
including the 2012 Hasselblad Masters Award. His work is exhibited
around the world.
