The conservation area received no meaningful precipitation during the month. However, a few water pans are full, and the vegetation is rapidly drying off. Some areas still have good vegetation cover and both grazers and browsers have enough food and are in good body condition.
Of the cases attended to 5 were poaching attempts involving 1 snared zebra and giraffe as well as 3 elephants with arrow or spear injuries. Two other elephants were attended to for natural causes, and a postmortem was carried out were cause of death was deemed natural. The Unit also rescued an impala from a deep pit and attended to a zebra with an open fracture that sadly had a poor prognosis, and the zebra was euthanised on welfare grounds.
