Elephant Rescued in Nannapa Community Conservancy

This lucky elephant was found and rescued just in time by community members in Nannapa Community Conservancy in late May, after getting stuck in thick mud near a water hole.

NRT staff joined rangers of Nannapa Conservancy, Loisaba Conservancy, and the Kenya Wildlife Service to rescue the 15-year-old bull on the morning of Saturday, 16th May.

Herders had spotted him while watering their livestock, and alerted Jackson Lekumoisa, Nanaapa Conservancy Manager, who in turn got a joint rescue mission going. With ropes, manpower and a lot of determination, the exhausted bull was freed from the mud trap unharmed.
