In May 2023, the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Veterinary Unit attended to 6 cases in the Laikipia ecosystem and Mt. Kenya region.
The team treated an elephant cow for lameness at the Ewaso trading centre; de-snared a Grevy’s zebra stallion at Mpala Research Centre; translocated 6 ‘problem elephants’ from Solio and Chaka areas in Nyeri County to Tsavo; treated 1 male white rhino and relocated 2 surrogate female southern white rhinos from the larger Ol-Pejeta Conservancy to a boma; and treated a Ruppel’s vulture for suspected poisoning.
