From Twitter/@tunajibu
oday we’re celebrating World Elephant Day at Amboseli National Park. African Elephants are the largest land animals on earth. In celebrating the day [CS Balala] took part in an Elephant Collaring Exercise, at Amboseli. We collared the young bull, so that we can understand and monitor the movement patterns of the herd, for Elephant conservation and management. During the Elephant collaring exercise, Scientists and Veterinarians also take blood, tissue and hair samples for further analysis, to generate more information about the Elephant’s genes, history, age and measurements.
[The Ministry] is working together with the County Government of Kajiado, to finalize the Amboseli National Park Management Plan. This management plan will enhance biodiversity and conservation, while bettering the lives of the local community.
