SWT/KWS TSAVO MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT OVERVIEW
October – December 2022
26 Cases 7 Poaching Cases 18 Elephant Cases
The Tsavo Conservation Area (TCA) has experienced one of the worst droughts in the recent past. In October, the prevailing drought resulted in a high number of wildlife losses, and the rescue of elephant calves was almost a daily occurrence as they were abandoned since they could not travel long distances while others were left behind after their mothers succumbed to drought related complications. The TCA had good rains from November through to December providing adequate pasture and water for wildlife. Cases of recumbent elephants were encountered towards the end of November and at the beginning of December. The change of weather and forage during this transition period is thought to have triggered this syndrome.
