The Eastern Conservation Area has continued to grapple with the prevailing drought. As natural water pans have dried up, wild animals have been sustained by the declining flow of permanent rivers. We hope that the rains will fall soon so that once again there can be sufficient forage and water for wildlife.
In June, the SWT/KWS Meru Mobile Vet Unit attended to 2 cases. The 1st case involved an elephant cow that was treated for a bullet wound attributed to human-wildlife conflict while the 2nd case involved a snared zebra stallion.
