In Kenya's Amboseli National Park, elephants were fitted with tracking collars as part of an event to mark WorldElephantDay
AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK, Kenya - Kenya’s elephant numbers more than doubled between 1989 and 2018, thanks to increased anti-poaching efforts, the tourism minister said on Wednesday.
“In the last couple of years, we have managed to tame poaching in this country,” he told reporters during a visit to the Amboseli National Park. While at the park, Balala participated in attaching a tracking collar to a bull elephant and naming of a pair of twin calves, as part of a naming campaign for elephants to be done next August.
In 2016, President Uhuru Kenyatta set fire to thousands of elephant tusks and rhino horns, destroying a stockpile that would have been worth a fortune to smugglers and sending a message that trade in the animal parts must be stopped.
