𝐀𝐧 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦; 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬. When the KWS Rift Valley Mobile Veterinary Unit arrived, they found the exhausted animal trapped in a dangerous situation. A winch-wire snare had become tightly wound around its head and neck, leaving painful wounds and restricting... its movement. Stranded in the water and unable to free itself, the waterbuck's survival depended on urgent intervention. Reaching the animal was no simple task. Members of the veterinary team had to swim out to the struggling waterbuck, carefully approaching and restraining it before removing the snare and treating its injuries. The rescue highlights the dedication of wildlife veterinarians and rangers, whose work often takes them into challenging environments where quick thinking, skill, and teamwork are essential to saving lives. Following treatment, the waterbuck was translocated to Crater Lake Conservancy, where it can recover in a safer environment. While this waterbuck was fortunate, many animals caught in snares are not. Often associated with illegal bushmeat hunting and other forms of wildlife crime, snares are indiscriminate traps that injure and kill wildlife. Their impact extends far beyond a single animal, affecting wildlife populations and undermining conservation efforts. The public can play an important role in protecting wildlife by reporting suspected wildlife crimes and other illegal activities through our 24-hour toll-free hotline, 0800 597 000, or via WhatsApp on 0726 610509. Thanks to the swift response of the team, this waterbuck now has an excellent chance of making a full recovery.

A dramatic rescue led our teams to roll up their trousers and jump into the water to save a snared waterbuck who had gotten trapped and couldn’t get himself out. Our Rift Valley Mobile Vet Unit — operated in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service — was able to save the waterbuck from both traps. The team bravely swam out and pulled him from the water, then removed the winch snare from his neck. He was relocated to Crater Lake area where he can safely recover from his ordeal. Every day, these lifesaving operations unfold in the field. Learn more about our conservation work, supported by donors like you:

A swift and highly skilled wildlife rescue in Manapparai Forest Range, Trichy, saw an Indian gaur safely brought out of an open agricultural well after nearly eight hours of coordinated effort by the Forest Department and Fire & Rescue Services. With conventional rescue methods ruled out, the team relied on precise veterinary intervention and a crane operation to bring the animal to safety, after which it was treated for minor injuries and released back into the Reserve Forest. Kudos to DFO Krithika & the veterinary team led by Dr. Kalaivanan, Dr. Sivachandran, and Dr. Muthuramalingam, Forest Rangers, local community and the entire team for a calm, technical and courageous rescue that reflects the very best of frontline wildlife response #wildliferescue #TNForest

Five hours to freedom! When rangers at Taita Sanctuary reported a zebra with a snare around his neck, our pilot took to the sky to locate him — but scanning hundreds of zebras to find a single strand of 2mm wire is no small task! After several hours of patrolling, he finally spotted the snared individual and the SWT/KWS Mobile Veterinary Unit moved in. Getting the zebra into position for treatment became an operation in itself. He was extremely skittish and gave our team the runaround for another 2.5 hours before he was successfully darted and the snare removed. Fortunately, the wire hadn’t yet caused serious injury — but left untreated, it could have proved lethal. Thanks to dedicated work on the ground and in the air, this zebra is now back with his herd and snare-free. This coordinated mission is wildlife conservation in action.

This young lion was on the edge of survival. A sub-adult male African lion in Ol Choro Conservancy was monitored with a serious, infected wound on his left front leg, thought to be sustained during an encounter with a warthog. After the sighting, he disappeared into the bush for several days, raising urgent concern for his condition. When wildlife injuries occur naturally, there is often careful consideration around whether intervention is the right choice. In many cases, wildlife is left to recover on its own as part of the natural process. However, given this lion’s young age, the severity of the infection, and the vulnerability of Kenya’s lion populations, the decision was made to provide life-saving treatment and give him the best chance of survival. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Ol Choro Conservancy rangers partnered with Mara Elephant Project to undertake an operation that provided life-saving treatment to the lion. Once located, the lion was placed under anesthesia by Kenya Wildlife Service veterinarian Dr. Ashif Hafiz so he could receive urgent care, including antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication, for the infected wound that had left him lame and in poor condition. After the treatment, the Ol Choro and MEP ranger teams monitored him to ensure he regained normal posture and mobility. Thanks to strong coordinated efforts on the ground, this young lion now has a second chance at survival.

𝐀 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐞𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 In Kursi Village, Garissa County, a compassionate woman once rescued a stranded cheetah cub and lovingly raised it as her own for nearly two years - feeding, bathing, and even leashing it like a pet cat. Through our Community & Wildlife Service Division, we learned of this extraordinary act of kindness. However, while her intentions were noble, keeping wildlife - even out of love - is against the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act (WCMA), which protects wild animals and ensures their wellbeing in their natural habitats. The cheetah was safely taken in by KWS officers and handed over to our veterinary team, who conducted a full health check to ensure it was in good condition, collected samples for laboratory testing, and administered treatment for parasite control. Now under expert care at the Nairobi Safari Walk, the cheetah continues to thrive as part of our conservation and education efforts. We deeply appreciate the Good Samaritan’s compassion and remind all Kenyans that true coexistence means protecting wildlife where they belong - in the wild. #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #NairobiSafariWalk #TunzaMaliYako

An 800-kg wild gaur walked more than 300 km across Tamil Nadu, from the forests of Trichy to the shores of Pamban. What followed was one of the most complex wildlife operations undertaken in the state. After a month of tracking the animal through human-dominated landscapes, and when all efforts to guide it back to suitable habitat failed, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department carried out the state’s first long-distance gaur translocation. Nearly 100 personnel, including expert veterinarians and trackers, worked in challenging coastal terrain to safely tranquilize, transport and release the animal in a Reserve Forest in Dindigul after a 13-hour capture operation and a 9-hour journey. Translocating a gaur is among the most challenging wildlife management tasks. This successful operation marks a significant milestone in conflict mitigation and wildlife management, while providing valuable lessons for future human-wildlife conflict situations. Kudos to the entire team 👏👏💪

🐘❤️ This rescue gave this elephant a second chance. Rescuers found the elephant with its trunk tightly wrapped in vines and wire. The injury was severe, and the poor animal was clearly in pain. The team carefully removed everything that was cutting into the trunk and treated the wound with medicine. At first, the damage looked so serious that it seemed like the elephant might lose part of its trunk. Thankfully, their quick work helped save it. An elephant depends on its trunk for almost everything, from eating and drinking to breathing and protecting itself. Saving it meant giving this gentle giant a real chance to recover. The dedication and care shown by the rescue team is truly inspiring. Moments like this remind us how much compassion can change a life. ❤️

Two wildlife officers discovered a large Moose trapped in a net. It was panicked, struggling violently, and fell to the ground, crying out in fear and pain. The officers carefully approached it (as the large elk could have been dangerous) and quickly cut through the net to free it. After being released, instead of attacking, the Moose got back on its feet and immediately ran into the forest—perhaps understanding that they had saved its life. 🫎🌲

Our SWT/KWS Veterinary Units exist to alleviate animal suffering. This successful operation to save a snared elephant's trunk earlier this year is a powerful reminder of the difference they make. The bull had lived with a snare slicing around his trunk for months. Left untended, it likely would have severed his trunk. His plight was spotted when our SWT helicopter was called to shepherd him off community land, into the safety of Tsavo East National Park. In the process, our pilot noticed a poacher’s snare, cinched tight around his trunk. The SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit rushed to the scene and, with support from our Aerial Unit, darted the patient. From there, treatment was swift and straightforward. The snare had been in place for at least three months, and in that time, the wound had completely healed over. Fortunately, a single snip of the snare was all it took to save the trunk. Despite the lasting damage, the bull's trunk will grow normally and he will be able to lead a full and healthy life. As snare victim Enkesha has demonstrated, even with holes or scar tissue, elephants can adapt to use their trunks to eat and drink without issue. To date, more than 3,800 elephants – including this bull – have been offered life-saving treatment by our SWT/KWS Veterinary Units. Positioned across Kenya's key ecosystems, they can respond at a moment's notice. Catch up on more lifesaving vet operations made possible by donations:

While on patrol, the rangers discovered a beautiful golden wildebeest stuck in the mud beside the road. It likely slipped on the wet ground, and one of its horns became buried deep in the mud, leaving it unable to stand up. ✨ Fortunately, it was rescued just in time before a group of hyenas waiting on the other side had a chance to attack. Moments like this remind us that wildlife sometimes depends on human care and intervention. 💖

This #WorldAnimalDay, we're spotlighting an extraordinary rescue that unfolded earlier this week. During a morning patrol, our pilot spotted two bulls with arrow wounds. Mid-flight to help the elephants, we received an urgent call from Kenya Wildlife Service: An infant elephant was trapped in a well, with frantic mother standing guard and not allowing anyone to get close to rescue him. We immediately diverted to the scene. Pilot Hamish dropped the team nearby, then used the helicopter to shepherd the mother away from the well. On the ground, Roan leapt into the water and, with a few determined pushes, managed to heave the calf to freedom. The baby bolted toward his mum and the team watched them happily reunite, before returning to their original task: helping the two arrowed elephants. Both were successfully darted and treated by the SWT/KWS Tsavo Vet Unit, rounding out the afternoon with three successful, life-saving operations. With your help, we can be there for wildlife in need:

Speared in a case of human-wildlife conflict — this lion was in a dire situation. Reported by Big Life, our fixed-wing pilot confirmed his location, allowing the SWT helicopter to collect and transport the SWT/KWS Mobile Vet Unit to the scene. The lion lying close to a school, deep within community land on Mbirikani Group Ranch. He had a serious spear wound to his shoulder, and in his compromised state had been targeted by rival male lions, who’d left him riddled with fight wounds! Dr Lawi darted the patient, so he could be transported into a protected area. It was here the vet treated his extensive injuries: Dr Lawi is hopeful he will make a full recovery. Our thanks to Big Life and Lion Guardians, who supported the treatment and will continue to monitor the progress of this king of the jungle. Our SWT/KWS Vet Teams have attended to more than 13,600 wild animals, including 803 lions - a species classified as vulnerable to extinction. With your support, we can be there for wildlife in need:

As the dry season takes hold in Tsavo, the elephant visitors come to Ithumba in a steady stream. Up to 150 congregate by our water troughs sometimes. Head Keeper Benjamin and the team are ready. Behind these full troughs is Water for Wildlife — our complex, fully committed conservation programme. Northern Tsavo is marked by high salinity levels, rendering much of its water undrinkable. To solve the water challenge, we established a desalination plant in Ithumba. Now, we can take saline water directly from the Ithumba boreholes, process it through the plant, and make it potable. Multiple times a day, our bowsers deliver water and top up troughs, dispersing the wealth throughout the landscape. This innovation has also transformed operations for our teams and the KWS units who are also based in Ithumba. Since we began providing drinkable water, wildlife have come back to the area in droves. These reliable watering points encourage elephants to remain deep within the safety of the park instead of venturing onto community land in search of food and water, which helps reduce human-wildlife conflict. Support our conservation projects, and elephants like these:

Remotely tracking animals in their natural habitats has become a central pillar of wildlife research. But on land, the process often involves fitting a collar around an animal’s neck that contains a GPS tracker and various sensors. This requires capturing the animal, which isn’t just expensive—it’s also stressful and dangerous for everyone involved. But a biologist sees a better way forward for this field of study, known as wildlife telemetry. He’s now building and experimenting with devices, described in a recent preprint, that would allow researchers to apply collars on animals without needing to capture them. Rethinking how we put collars on animals, he argues, could bring many benefits to wildlife research, such as improving animal welfare and the quantity and quality of data collected at the same time.
