Three elephants suffered snare wounds, two with spear injuries and four with arrow injuries. One elephant calf with a snare injury to her foot sadly died during treatment due to complications associated with the long-standing snare but the other 8 were treated successfully with a good prognosis for full recovery.

One of the Human – Wildlife Conflict cases involved a young elephant bull that was stuck in a deep well full of water. It took a heroic effort, and the collaboration of the Sky Vet Unit, SWT Staff, Aerial Unit, as well as sourcing a crane to extract the bull to safety. The other HWC Case involved the translocation of one adult female elephant and her two calves from the Mtito Area after reports from the community. With the aid of a helicopter, truck, tractor and crane, all three were relocated to Tsavo East National Park. The other cases were all likely caused naturally, 3 where treated successfully and one was given a guarded prognosis.

Out of the cases treated there was an overall 87% success rate.
