For nearly 24 hours, a young vervet monkey remained stranded on an electric power line above Kivumbini Estate in Nakuru, frightened, exhausted, and unable to come down. The previous day, its mother had suffered an electric shock that threw her from the line. While she miraculously survived, her baby remained trapped high above the ground as their troop stayed nearby in distress.

Responding to an urgent call, KWS Nakuru Station worked alongside the Kenya Power Care team in a delicate, high-risk rescue operation. Residents gathered below, anxiously following every careful step as rescuers worked to reach the stranded monkey.

An INJURED ELEPHANT 🐘 had become entangled in a rope snare, in Kenya’s wild savannah.

The treatment was successful, and shortly afterward the elephant stood up and walked away on its own—a promising sign for its continued recovery.

TRAPPED WATERBUCK 🤭🐾

A winch-wire snare had become tightly wound around a male waterbuck's head and neck, leaving painful wounds and restricting its movement.

Stranded in the water and unable to free itself, the waterbuck's survival depended on urgent intervention.

Reaching the animal was no simple task. Veterinary team had to swim out to the struggling waterbuck, carefully approaching and restraining it before removing the snare and treating its injuries.

Following treatment, the waterbuck was translocated to Crater Lake Conservancy, where it can recover in a safer environment.

A lioness at Tsavo National Park receives treatment after she sustained severe injuries to her left forelimb, during an encounter with a hippo while attempting to hunt.

Upon examination, the veterinary team found a significant tear to the left biceps muscle, with part of the overlying skin ripped away.

The vets carefully repaired the damaged muscle and placed multiple sutures to close and stabilize the wound, giving the lioness the best chance of recovery. Her prognosis is considered fair to good, and she will continue to be monitored as she heals.

DRAMA AS ROGUE ELEPHANTS RELOCATED:

Some bull elephants 🐘 could spend the day sleeping, wait for nightfall, quietly break through a park fence, stroll into nearby farms, feast until completely satisfied, and then sneak back into the park before dawn to sleep as if nothing had happened. Can you believe it?

Well, that was exactly the reaction of the Kenya Wildlife Service Vet and Capture team when reports came in about a group of elephant bulls from Meru National Park, Kenya. At first, it sounded almost unbelievable. But the bulls had not only mastered nighttime crop raids, they had also learned how to break into the rhino sanctuary.

This posed a serious risk to nearby communities, rhinos, and the teams tasked with protecting them.

To address this challenge, KWS made the proactive decision to tag and relocate the bulls to a larger protected area, where they will have more space to roam, far from human settlements, free from tempting farm crops, and with very little human activity. In fact, the only drama they are likely to encounter will be wildlife minding its own business.

This move protects communities, reduces pressure on critical conservation areas, enhances ranger safety, and gives these bulls a chance to reconnect with the wild menu nature intended for them. Because sometimes conservation means giving wildlife the space they need to be wild.
