Photo by @amivitale // A wild elephant at midnight comes to a watering hole on the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy. She arrived with a herd of babies.

Traditionally elephants have been active during the day, and rested at night. Today though, elephants have become increasingly nocturnal as a means to evade poachers, a recent study showed. Females traveling with calves are particularly likely to make this shift to night.

Happily, community based conservation in northern Kenya is having an impact and the people who live here are becoming the greatest protectors of the elephants. According to the Great Elephant Census, the proportion of illegally killed elephants in Northern Rangeland Trust (@nrt_kenya) member community conservancies has fallen more than 53% since 2012.
