During the month of March 2023, the Mt Kenya Wildlife Veterinary unit attended to 10 wildlife cases that required veterinary intervention in Laikipia ecosystem and Mt. Kenya region.
Some of the wildlife cases include a speared elephant in Mpala ranch, a buffalo that was rescued from a pit in Lol daiga Ranch, a stray oryx rescued from Naibor center and taken to Tundra farm, snared zebra treated in Balungi farm, a Black rhino treated in Sera Sanctuary and an autopsy of a White rhino carcass in Ol pejeta Conservancy. The rains have started and we expect the drought to stop and cases to reduce.
