Aerial census report for eastern Kajiado released

We conducted an aerial census of eastern Kajiado in early February 2010. The area counted matched the area monitored regularly by the Amboseli Conservation Program (ACP) since 1973. The count gives an independent check of the drought mortalities recorded on ground counts in the Amboseli basin during 2009. The February count covered the entire Amboseli ecosystem and extended well into adjacent wildlife concentration areas. The February count gives a measure of wildlife and livestock mortalities for the whole of eastern Kajiado when compared to the 2008 pre-drought count.
