SWT/KWS MERU MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT OVERVIEW
October – December 2022
21 Cases 3 Poaching Cases 8 Elephant Cases
October was characterized by increased environmental temperatures and with each passing day came a substantial decline in the available forage and water for wildlife. November marked the beginning of the long rains; river water levels rose significantly, and forage for wildlife increased across the region. Most of the Ecosystem continued to receive rain in December. The trees were in full bloom, and the number of reported cases drastically decreased Significant cases involved the rescue of an orphaned white rhino calf in the Meru Rhino Sanctuary; the translocation of 4 white rhinos and the rescue of a heavily pregnant giraffe and her offspring trapped in a fenced enclosure for almost 6 days without access to water.
