Elephant Diaries (originally transmitted in July 2005)

For those of you who are not familiar with the Elephant Diaries, BBC were granted unprecedented access to the Orphans project and have produced a beautiful series of five programs about the work of The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. A viewing 'must' for the whole family.

The BBC featured the work of the Trust in their documentary "Elephant Diaries" [website | watch trailer], which followed the progress of these elephants over the course of a year, documenting their steps back into the wild. A clip [watch it here] from the documentary is about a football (soccer) game that these elephants play to bond with each other. Elephant Diaries II was filmed in 2006 and will be shown on the BBC around the middle of 2007. BBC have had unique access to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Orphans’ Project once again and are creating a wonderful follow up series to 'Elephant Diaries'. The Filming of 'Elephant Diaries Two' was completed towards the end of 2006, with the new series being aired in 2007. Read the elephant updates online.
