Published on the 15th of November, 2022

The SWT/KWS Mount Kenya Veterinary Unit attended to 15 cases in October. Many of the cases, eight in total, involved critically endangered mountain bongos, but the Veterinary Unit also attended to 4 rhino cases and 3 elephant cases.

Some of the highlights in October included the translocation of 14 white rhinos from the Oljogi Pyramid to Oljogi ranch to decongest the Pyramid area thereby reducing territorial fights; the translocation of 4 white rhinos from Meru National Park to Partikilat Conservancy in Maasai Mara; and the rescue of a male elephant calf found abandoned in Enasoit, Laikipia.
