Photo by @amivitale. Mary Lengees is one of the dedicated keepers caring for orphaned elephants at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e) the first indigenous-owned and run elephant sanctuary in northern Kenya. She is one of the first indigenous Samburu women elephant keepers in all of Africa.
Traditionally in Kenya, women are married young and are meant to take care their children and homes. Although women had never been keepers before, the community has embraced the new program. Today, Reteti has a total of 5 women keepers. The community is excited to hear what these women have accomplished, and rush to them when they return home to learn news of each of the elephants in their care.

Empowering women is crucial to counteract the increasing pressure placed on this fragile landscape. Reteti is opening a door to a world of possibilities where women are equally entitled to working on their own land and protecting their own wildlife. Reteti is changing the way these communities relate to wildlife, and this brings a sense of pride and responsibility to the women working at the sanctuary. They know that by caring for the elephants, their efforts are reducing poaching and human-wildlife conflict.

You can now visit the sanctuary virtually through #MyAfrica, a VR experience I helped direct with @ルピタ・ニョンゴ as the voice over for @conservationorg. I am honored to have learned from the brilliant @PassionPicturesFilms @camcampkin @gregwdennis @waldo_etherington @3d_vision3 and @deep_vr in the making of this film which debuted at @tribeca Film Festival last week.
