Protected by her mother and watched over by attentive keepers, Kaja is gradually discovering the world. Every day, she grows bolder — playing in the straw, nudging her mother’s legs, basking in the sun, and learning what it means to be an elephant.

But beyond her undeniable charm, Kaja represents a major success in the conservation of African elephants in human care. Her birth is a symbol of hope at a time when the species still faces threats from habitat loss and poaching.

Kaja, with her tiny trunk and big future, is already becoming an ambassador for wildlife and conservation. Her story reminds us that every birth can be the beginning of something extraordinary.
