SWT/KWS MARA MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT OVERVIEW
October – December 2022
11 Cases 5 Poaching Cases
3 Elephant Cases
October was the driest month this year. Savannahs and many seasonal streams dried up, and the flow of major rivers within the ecosystem dramatically reduced. Due to scarcity of resources, the health of wildlife, particularly herbivores declined rapidly. Predators on the other hand seem thrive as their prey base is very broad due to the presence of migratory wildebeest. November marked the arrival of the short rains within the Ecosystem just like most parts of Kenya. Although the rains were not very heavy when they began, it is expected that they will alleviate the forage and water scarcity. Cases of human-wildlife conflict are expected to subside as resources become abundant and wild animals withdraw from human dominated areas.
