Kenya Successfully Relocates 50 Elephants to Aberdare National Park

The relocation marks a conservation milestone, reflecting low poaching rates and thriving elephant populations.

Kenya moved 50 elephants from the overpopulated Mwea National Reserve to the larger Aberdare National Park.
The relocation involved over 100 wildlife specialists using helicopters and specially fitted trucks.
Officials attribute the need for relocation to successful conservation efforts that have kept poaching low.
The operation aims to reduce human-wildlife conflict and ensure elephants have adequate food resources.
A second phase to relocate an additional 50 elephants is planned, though the date remains undisclosed.
