Rescued orphaned elephant highlights Nigeria's conservation fight<br /><br />An orphan baby forest elephant rescued after wandering out of Nigeria's Okomu National Park is being raised by wildlife carers from the conversationist NGO ANI in the hope of returning him to the wild, highlighting efforts to protect one of the country's last remaining elephant populations. The breed, smaller and more elusive than their savannah cousins, are endangered and their population has collapsed in recent decades largely because of habitat loss and poaching. The National Park Service of Nigeria also played a part in this tiny calf's rescue.<br /><br />AFP VIDEO<br /><br />Check out our Streaming Channel: https://streaming.manilatimes.net/<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe<br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook<br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram<br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter<br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion<br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital<br /><br />Check out our Podcasts:<br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify<br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts<br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic<br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#WorldNews
