Dry conditions were experienced in the Amboseli ecosystem in February, and the little vegetation that existed was mostly found in areas receiving water from the underground springs emanating from Mount Kilimanjaro. As a result, elephants and other wildlife moved out of the park into areas that had received some rain and had plenty of vegetation. Intense interaction, movement and competition for resources led to conflicts between people and animals. The Unit attended 15 cases in total, 8 of these cases involved elephants while 5 of these cases involved snared giraffes and zebra.
