SWT/KWS TSAVO MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT OVERVIEW

January – March 2023

30 Cases 16 Poaching Cases 17 Elephant Cases

The Tsavo Conservation Area during this quarter has been generally dry, and the extremely high temperatures scorched the little vegetation that was left. Forage was becoming increasingly scarce, and most small pools and natural water pans were running dry save for a few deep in the park where most of the animals have sought refuge. However, there were clear signs of impending rain at the end of March some parts of the conservation area received some precipitation. The SWT-KWS Tsavo Mobile Veterinary Unit attend to 30 cases in total during this quarter including 17 elephant, 1 cheetah, 4 lion, 5 zebra, 1 giraffe and 2 buffalo. Out of all the cases, the Unit were 83% successful.
