    Wildlife Works Anti-Poaching Pilot Spots Injured Elephant

    October 8, 2015 /

    Oct 8, 2015 : Rukinga, Kenya: This morning Wildlife Works’ anti poaching pilot Keith Hellyer, spotted this bull elephant in serious trouble on the sanctuary. The elephant was resting in the thicket alone, with a large lump on his side, which was feared to be an infection from a poison arrow. The elephant was unresponsive to the aircraft, a clear sign that he was in severe pain.

Despite the efforts of Wildlife Works and…

    Injured Elephant Treated on Rukinga

    February 18, 2011 /

    BY ROB DODSON – VP – RUKINGA –  15th February 2011 Our Wildlife Works rangers at our Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project came across a large male elephant that was having trouble walking and so we called in the Sheldrick Trust vet to dart him and have a look at the heavily swollen leg. Our rangers led the vet through the thick bush to where the elephant was leaning against a tree, showing obvious severe discomfort. A dart was successfully shot into his flank and he went down after a few minutes and we were able to have a good look at him. We found that he had a small but…
