New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!

They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The future of Kenya's wildlife rests with the children growing up alongside it. Our teams visit schools and host field trips, sharing lessons about conservation and the environment. By teaching young students about their wild neighbours, we empower them to become the next Guardians of the Wild.

We live in a fast-paced world where being busy can be seen as a badge of honour. There's no doubt that, behind the scenes, our Nursery is a hive of activity (milk bottles don't mix themselves!) yet the orphans remind us what truly matters: spending time with family, and taking a moment to rest.

Last month, when Mbegu's semi-independent herd walked away in a different direction, Kenderi tried to follow them. The Keepers called her back – at only six years old and still milk dependent, she's not quite ready for that step. But her eagerness shows she's preparing herself: swt.bio/kenderi

Nannies play a vital role across our elephant units, helping newly rescued orphan elephants feel secure and loved. Their nurturing presence has been instrumental in Kipekee's recovery, which has seen her transform from fragile on the brink of death, to playful, mischievous and full of life.
