As an adult, she and her passionate team nurtured countless elephants back to health. When a tiny, milk-dependent calf named Aisha arrived, Daphne faced her greatest challenge yet. No one had ever hand-reared an elephant this young, but what she learned during their time together would revolutionize how future orphaned elephants were cared for-and fueled her dream of returning them to the wild!
