SWT/KWS AMBOSELI MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT OVERVIEW
October – December 2022
13 Cases 13 Poaching Cases
8 Elephant Case
The Amboseli ecosystem experienced dry and hot conditions in October The wetland vegetation was almost depleted by the high population of animals feeding in the area, and vulnerable animals continued to die from drought-related complications. Many animals remained in the park, but they moved in and outside the park resulting in farm invasions and conflict with communities The ecosystem received rains at the end of November resulting in some vegetation regrowth and flash floods in some parts of the park due to surface runoff from the Kilimanjaro slopes. Rains received in November were unevenly distributed and there was barely any in December. Herbivores survived on what was left in the swamps since forage was scarce.
