patrols in a time of drought

The Amboseli area in Southern Kenya has been hit hard by a drought that has been ravaging the area. However, IFAW rangers continue to patrol the area in hopes of finding and assisting animals that have been orphaned, weak or even lost. During the drought, there’s been a sharp increase of bush-meat hunting for commercial purposes and IFAW’s rangers continue patrolling the area to deter poachers and protect frail animals that have been orphaned or separated from their packs.

A two-day-old baby giraffe wandered into a homestead in Amboseli, Kenya. IFAW’s rangers at Olgulului Community Wildlife Ranch (OCWR) were called out and safely transported the giraffe to Amboseli National Park.
