The #elephants are covering themselves in muddy water to stay cool in the heat. These pools were made by some of the communities we work with in #Mali.

New photos of the #Mali #desert #Elephants sleeping soundly! #Elephants mostly sleep while standing, but also lie down to sleep every few days. Elephants are the shortest sleeping mammal.

We work with @ChengetaWild using #drones for reconnaissance in certain areas in #Mali. It is essential that we fly over zones where it is not practical to use vehicles, to ensure the safety of our movements in areas of Mali.
