The month of June was characterized by dry weather conditions and moderate daytime temperatures. The gradual loss of green vegetation across the Meru ecosystem signalled the onset of the dry season. Despite this, rivers within the area continued to flow, ensuring the availability of water for wildlife in the coming months.
Notably, despite the varied outcomes of elephant cases attended to during the period, there was an encouraging increase in the sighting of baby elephants across the ecosystem. During the reporting period, the SWT/KWS Meru Mobile Veterinary Unit recorded an increase in the number of wildlife cases managed, attending to a total of 7 cases involving African elephants and Southern white rhinos.
