Proceedings of the Amboseli Ecosystem workshop, 9th December 2009

The Ambosel Ecosystem Workshop was convened and organized by Kenya Wildlife Service, African Conservation Centre and the Amboseli Conservation Program; sponsorship was provided by African Conservation Centre and the Dutch Government Institutional Support programme.

The workshop was called at short notice to take stock of the devastating
impact of the 2009 drought on Amboseli National Park and its ecosystem. The meeting brought together 50 representatives from among government agencies, local communities, researchers, conservationists, non-government organizations and the tourism sector.  The meeting reviewed data on the wildlife and livestock losses and proposed ways to minimize further losses and conflict and to restore the damage to herds, park and ecosystem after the drought.
