From Rhinos to Elephants | A Journey of Compassion with Adine Roode
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Before Adine Roode started HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development), she worked with elephant and rhino orphans using the facilities at her mother's centre, known as HESC (Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre). Since its establishment in 1990, HESC has played an important role in the conservation of specific endangered species, particularly cheetahs and rhinos. Adine saw the influx of elephant orphans at the centre, and decided to take the step to create South Africa's first and only dedicated elephant orphanage.
HERD officially launched in 2019, but this followed a long journey in elephant rehabilitation, one that began with the original orphan, Jabulani, and proceeded with the rescue of the herd from Zimbabwe. Adine wanted to give new orphans a chance to rehabilitate close to their own species and to better facilitate the integration process of orphans into the Jabulani herd. The HERD orphanage was built right next to the homestead of the Jabulani herd, a unique blended herd named after elephant bull Jabulani, incorporating the original herd from Zimbabwe and their offspring born in South Africa.
We have shared stories of Adine's past work with rhinos recently as she has stepped in again to help with the rehabilitation of new rhino orphans at HESC, with her expertise in caring for these calves and her knowledge of the milk formula needed.
In this video, we take a look at how Adine's journey with rhinos led to the creation of HERD, and a lifetime of dedication to wildlife in need. Adine has walked a long road with the elephants in our care, from Jabulani who is the same age as Adine's own son, to Khanyisa, the albino snare survivor who we raised through the COVID pandemic. While she manages the care of our newest orphan at HERD, precious four-month-old Phabeni, Adine remains committed to being of service to the rhino orphans and poaching victims who need her too.

I think presently more and more centers take care and rescue babies or wounded animals in many Africa states ! there are more and-more rangers tracking poachers but it will be never enough but I cross my fingers for these treasures in the nature !! An other big problem concerning the elephant is the Asian countries who torture these elephants all their life unchained ! with not enough foods not enough water ! working so hard ang getting seriously injured and NO ONE TELL ABOUT THESE CRIMINAL ANIMAL VIOLENCES ! there are laws and these tortures mental and physic continue 😡 their life is prison on concrete and iron cage !!! they never meet herd !! I am devastated 😢 and so angry 🤬

Adine Roode is a wonderful being I just love watching her and her beloved animals.
Love what you're doing for the rhinos too!❤
Adine opened my eyes to rhino rescues. Her work is outstanding and continues with her care for orphaned elephants. My greatest admiration
My eyes are filling with tears even if I am a grown man. You are so right, life without animals is empty. Than you for your admirable work
Thank you Adine for what you have done and are doing now to protect wildlife, you and all the other great people that fight for wildlife for us and our Planet I Thank You.
You DO make the world a better place Adine, together with the wonderful Teams at HERD and H.E.S.C. and others like you. Thank You and Be Blessed, all of you ❤🦏❤️🐘❤️✨️🙏
Adine, thank you for all that you do. Your dedication and commitment to these animals is so beautiful and so admirable. Thank you to you and your team. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful animals and giving them a chance at a beautiful and healthy life. May you continue to be blessed in every way. 🙏❤️ This world needs more people like you and your team.
Dearest Adine, I could barely watch the poaching parts but if you can go in and save and rescue and work with these magnificent creatures, the least I (we) can do is to watch and support what you've done and accomplished with your life!!!💖Thank you! We all love you and your compassionate, loving team and teamwork!🌍💖
Adine is such an amazing human, what a beautiful soul 💜
Its a journey of compassion for the whole team not just her!!! They do most the work & caring for the animals!!
Bravo to Adine Roode......one of our species' treasures.
Adine, you have made the world a better place. You are my heart. Your soul is so big and loving to these beautiful beings. Thank you for making me feel a little bit better about some humans. You are one of the great ones. Thanks to all at HERD! The real heroes of our time.
On top of all the incredible work Adine does for animals, HERD also sponsors Mpisi School, making sure that the children have adequate nutrition through school meals and special protein bars, teaching them to have fun growing their own vegetables, instilling a love for wildlife, animals and conservation and ensuring their education for a good future, as well as uplifting the JabuLadies in the local community by selling the good they make. What an incredible hero she is! ❤️

Very well put 👍👍👍
I am wondering why is it that the rhinos are released back into the wild without carers watching over them in the bush but the elephants are not released back into the wild without carers? I watched a video recently where Adine approached a rhino orphan that she helped raise and it was so wonderful to see that he had not forgotten her and it was really touching to see. I love the work and dedication you all provide for these precious animals. You all have the most incredibly beautiful souls to dedicate yourselves in this way.

I agree, the rhinos are a continual target. Why doesn't S A. Stop poqchibg?
What a wonderful video and thank you to everyone involved with saving these beautiful animals. People that go around killing any kind of animals,are just the scum of the earth. 😢😢😢
Beautiful presentation of every wonderful Hoedspruit rehabilitation center. I hope it helps create awareness all over the planet!
God Bless you and your mission
Beautiful video
South Aftrica needs to educate their children about all wildlife & especially reptiles. Knowledge is key to understanding & saving many lives, animals & humans.
Thank you for doing what you do helping these beautiful creatures.
Thank you, Adine for your uncompromising love and warm care with the orphaned rhinos and elephants ❤. Touching video and music 💞. I had tears with my eyes. Thank you for share ❤.

What a beautiful video showing the equally magical dedicated kind compassionate soul who is Adine Roode. This truly made me emotional “I just want to make the world a better place” not only are you fulfilling this wish every single day with every 4 legged creature who’s come across your pure heart and kind touch but you have touched and inspired countless people across the globe including myself;no truer words have been said “without animals to share our lives they’d be quite empty”This holds true not just with the work you do fighting for the orphaned,the lost and the voiceless but your smile your humor and the joy you have is contagious and it certainly gives hope making my days a little more wonderful.Thank you for all you do for wildlife for being their guardian angel and for reminding us that we can all make a difference in our own way. 🐘🦏💞💜🥺

You’re an inspiration to us all. What you do along with everyone else at HERD embodies the best of humankind. It is my firm belief that we as a species are here to be stewards and not owners of this planet, we are here to care for our beloved and unique Mother Earth, the only known harbor of life in the stars. We are an immature species as can be seen by the greed with which our dominant way of life consumes everything in its path, how we’re vying to colonize other planets while we ravage and strip the one that quite literally gives us life, and by how we slaughter these beautiful beings for ridiculous, baseless, and abhorrent superstitions. Luckily every generation of humans that comes is more awake to their true role. Until there’s a critical mass of young people who will organically take up the mantle of protecting the planet and the rest of creation, the beautiful animals we share the world with must be preserved. They have as much a right to be here, and in fact often even greater a right because it’s the humans who have encroached into their homes. Thank you for all that you do to make sure these wonderful creatures will be around for future humans to marvel at.
Danke für die liebe die ihr den Nashörner und Elefanten immer gibts 🐘 ❤️🦏❤️🥰👍
Adine, my greatest admiration for you. Thank you for your commitment, for protecting the life of these gentle and formidable creatures. You and your team are in my heart and in my prayers.
People who love and protect animals are the best kind of people ever. ❤
What a void our world would feel without Adine, her Mother and Father who were the catalysts for saving Rhinos and Elephants. I never heard or knew baby rhinos make such sweet squeaking noises, so endearing. I also learned about the Elephants rumbles. LOVE BOTH endeavors and pray for MUCH SUCCESS. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THE CARERS!! CONSERVATION is something we all can get onboard with!!
You do make a difference in all our lives, animals and humans. Thank you for your dedication to the precious rhino's and elephants! 💕🦏🐘
❤❤❤
Videos like these need to be shown in schools to our children of the world. Education is key to preserving our planet and the creatures that inhabit it. Unfortunately, many of us humans just don't know or truly understand that we should coexist peacefully and respectfully with our animals - all of them.
Adine and the Herd group thanks for letting us watch!
Crying of course. Adine, you have given so much. Such amazing, worthwhile work. I don't know how your heart endures, but happy that it does. The rhinos and elephants will great you in heaven. 🥰
I pure cried watching this video Adine. There's people out there that just don't have a heart. And for what...money? And then there are people like you Adine and all the carers...from rhinos to elephants trying to keep each species alive. I commend all of you for what you are doing for Africa and the world. Love each and every one of you from my whole heart. God will bless you all for what you all are doing. Again I truly Love you all. Jeanne Jones from North Carolina the USA. ❤️❤️🦣🦣🦏🦏❤️❤️
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you all for everything you do every day for these precious beings!
You need to be recognised for all your hard work
🙏❤️ you Adine
This video brought me to tears. I'm glad and proud to be a supporter of HERD. Your work is so precious and necessary.
A beautiful story of compassion that will inspire the next generation, thank you 🙏
Thank you Adine and all the wonderful people who ,in one way or another, work towards giving our fellow living souls a better life
Breaks my heart what some humans do for money...thank you, you are so better than me I would break. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cannot thank you enough Adine and ALL for posting these wonderful videos so that my grand children can watch and learn. I am able to answer some of their curious questions. Who better to influence and teach than a grandparent? I want them to remember me when I am gone for teaching them the importance and necessity for human protection and care for all the animal kingdom. We thank you all, blessings to you.

What an amazing lady. Thank you Adine.
❤❤❤love
Thank you in particular for supporting the utterly harrowing work of rehabbing adult victims of rhino poaching, I watched those videos and it was incredible to see the teams' determination to give those survivors every chance. I hope all the pain and suffering of these animals finds the people who victimised them. Poverty is no excuse; there are plenty of desperately poor people who would never think of such cruelty. Thanks again.
Thank you for everything you're doing❤😊🐘🐘🐘🦏🦏🐑🐕🐕
Bless you, Adine, and everyone working with you & HERD to save these majestic creatures; bless the animals under your care, and all those still in the wild who need protection from greedy, amoral men.
Lovely woman with endless respect and love 💖
💞Adine you are the elephant 🐘 and rhino 🦏 whisperer! Your love and devotion for these beautiful creatures from God is amazing! Thank you and your incredible team for rescuing and caring for them. Praying that generations to come will be able to see these majestic animals. May you all be well and well blessed! ☮️🕊️🐘🦏🕊️💟
Beautiful visual tribute to using practical human power to combat bad human behaviors towards these priceless joy evoking animals we are so blessed to experience this planet with!!!! Bravo to all. 🙌💚
There is no doubt that Adine and the carriers at herd are saints and have a very special place in heaven waiting for them.
I would love to that but left it too late . I could cry
Humans are the worst, humans are the best; our choice. I thank all that’s holy and good for stellar humans like Adine! Blessings to her and staff for doing the rescuing and rehab that they do! The same to all good people who step in to make a difference for good, no matter how great or small, you are needed and appreciated! 🕊️💕

Thank you so much for the support!
How could anyone find it in their hearts to harm these magnificent mysteries in nature? I strongly believe to save humanity we have to start with animals cause that's where we come from. Thank you for all your efforts,
My admiration for you Adine is beyond words. The work that you and your helpers do in taking care of these magnificent animals is so important to us as humans and the whole animal kingdom. I have never and will never understand the mentality of people who are knowingly cruel towards our fellow inhabitants of this planet. I thank you for all that you do from the bottom of my heart and soul.
I recently read what i consider a profound quotation: "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." -Ralph Waldo Emerson-
This world would be missing so Much love and comfort without Adine and the wonderful family Of workers of beautiful Herd. I love you all and contribute when i can. On my bucket list Is to one day come and visit. Much love to you all and thank Each and every one of you.❤😊🎉
Bravissima Adine e tutto lo staff che sta aiutando questi piccoli orfani a ritrovare la gioia di vivere e forse anche madri adottive , ma credo che queste creature ti vedono già come madre adottiva ❤❤❤ Dio Vi Benedica x prendervi cura delle Sue creature che ha creato anche loro affinché anime dal cuore gentile si prendessero cura di loro come noi facciamo con i nostri gatti domestici ❤️❤️❤️

Gracias Adine por tanto amor!!!!!❤❤❤
bless everyone at herd
Gracias Adine por tu gran labor. Mi corazón ha llorado con esta triste realidad que tu nos has compartido. Es lamentable que se organicen safaris de cacería para matar elefantes. Eso es una vergüenza para un mal llamado cazador. Estos animales tan grandes y pacíficos tan fáciles de matar...Cómo no se averguenzan de abatir presas tan fáciles de alcanzar? Son miserables, la verdad. Y los rinocerontes? Arrancados sus cuernos por una superstición de potenciar la virilidad en un pais que no ha visto en su vida a uno de ellos! Todo esto es horrible! Y los cazadores furtivos que a causa de su miseria hacen cualquier cosa para tener unos miseros ingresos y venden el futuro de sus familias? Mi corazón sufre con esta triste realidad.
Powerful message! You all are wonderful human beings!
Adine, I admire you so much!!...you're an inspiration on how the human being should be in rder to match with God's creation!! Thank you for all your work, I watch every video you post ❤
That so moved me ands it’s SO TRUE! Thank you Adine and HERD for all that you do; and I truly hope that others will melt when they watch this to contribute any support they can for such worthwhile causes. YOU, the carers and these amazing animals are precious to us all! Blessings and grateful heart, Kathleen in Alaska THANK YOU!!!!!!🐘🦏🐘🦏🐘🦏🐘🦏🧡🥰🧡🥰
How shocking, I thought I’d seen deplorable human acts, but chopping off the horn from a living rhino takes it to a new level. I pray this thing is stopped.

Adine is an inspiration to us all! ❤❤
I hadn’t much thought of the things you mentioned here Adine, I guess I could say my head is buried in the sand. You painted a bigger picture than what my concept was and you spoke a truth that opened my eyes. You are a true humanitarian and I admire that, we should all strive to be as compassionate as you and your team are! Thank you for all that HERD represents and does to preserve the animal kingdom you work with ♥️♥️ and for opening my mind to the actual reality of greed and corruption.
Powerful message for the world! TY Adine + all @ HERD for your incredible work to save these endangered, incredible species! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Adine is correct a life without animals is a empty life. ❤....it IS our responsibility to save the animals and the planet 🌏 ❤🙏
Beautiful animals. Thank you for helping them.
This video has such a profound message. Adine and all the other people involved with HERD and HESC have made the world a better place. Their work is such an inspiration.
Adine you have made a difference in the world. Without HES and HERD these orphaned babies would never have a chance to grow up and continue the species. You are truly an amazing woman. I thank you for allowing us to go on this journey with you. ❤️🐘🦏❤️
Oh the beautiful creatures. We have so much to learn from them. Thank you for your compassionate work. I suggest everyone watching this put a post on their community page of their channels so we can spread the word for HERD and up the support for them. With deep gratitude 🙏

Adine is one in a million. People like her are an inspiration to us all, giving us a reason to keep believing in humanity even as it gets harder and harder to hold on to that belief. The *monsters* that cut off these rhinos' horns for superstitious bullsh*t and leave them to die in agony, I can't even find the words to express the fate they deserve.
An utterly beautiful story and devotion. Adine, you and all The Carers and Communities you work with and who work with you, are angels.
I never realised you did the rhinos as well done. Congratulations and whatid1878 s on a lovely play mate you've got😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
