During the month of December, the Meru ecosystem flourished in vibrant greenery with vast stretches of grasslands providing a lush carpet across the landscape.
Both seasonal and permanent rivers meandered gently through the area, their waters glistening under the sun. This abundant greenery and flowing water bring a hopeful outlook for the wildlife, ensuring they have ample forage and drink to sustain them through the season.
Amidst this verdant landscape, the SWT/KWS Meru Mobile Vet Unit team managed seven wildlife cases. The team treated an adult elephant cow for a spear wound, attended to an injured female black rhino, provided veterinary care to an injured lioness named Dada and conducted elephant autopsies in Nasulu Conservancy, and Mugie Wildlife Conservancy. Furthermore, they performed an autopsy on a juvenile black rhino in Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy.
