adminNAIROBI. — Kenya and Tanzania governments have started a joint aerial count of elephants and other large mammals. The aerial census in the shared ecosystem of the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro and Natron- Magadi landscape seeks to establish the landscape’s wildlife population abundance, trends and distribution.
“It will enhance knowledge on the relation between wildlife, habitat and human impacts while at the same fostering cross-border collaboration on wildlife monitoring and management between the two East African countries,” KWS says in a statement.
The one-week exercise costing Sh12 million, is a collaboration between the two countries and their agencies. — Daily Nation.
