The conservation area received limited precipitation during the month. However, water and fodder for wildlife is still plenty with many elephants coming back to the National Reserve and surrounding conservancies after dispersing to Community Areas. There is also an increase in visitation to the conservation area as compared to the same period last year.
During the month, the Unit attended to 6 cases, 5 of which were related to poaching; 3 snaring, 1 spear and 1 arrow incident. Luckily, all the animals ( 2 elephants, 2 giraffe and 1 zebra) were successfully treated. An elephant was also successfully treated for an injury to the foot which was natural as there were no external wounds.
