A month-old orphaned forest elephant, Agbaibor, is receiving round-the-clock care in Nigeria’s Okomu National Park after being rescued alone. Forest elephants, an endangered species, face threats from habitat loss and poaching. The costly rehabilitation effort involves specialists and significant resources.
Conservationists aim to reintroduce Agbaibor into the wild in 3-5 years. With only an estimated 200 forest elephants left in Nigeria, Okomu National Park is vital for their survival. Efforts to protect them include ranger programs and community engagement.
