The Mara Veterinary Team has effectively treated a young female elephant that was harmed by a wire trap at the Naboisho Wildlife Conservancy, showcasing continuous initiatives to safeguard wildlife via swift intervention measures.

As per a statement issued by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the elephant was discovered with a snare that had cut through her mouth and right ear, presenting a significant threat to her health and survival.

Traps, frequently placed without permission to capture animals, can lead to serious harm and extended pain when wild creatures get caught.

After receiving the report, the Mara Veterinary Team quickly responded and located the injured elephant within the conservancy.

The group carefully restrained the animal to facilitate a thorough inspection and care.

Veterinary officials then meticulously took out the trap, which had become embedded in the elephant’s flesh, and applied a local treatment to prevent infection and promote recovery.

“The elephant was securely restrained, the trap taken out, and local treatment applied,” the group stated, adding that the procedure was performed effectively and without any issues.

After following the process, the elephant was observed as she came to her senses and returned to her environment.

The event highlights the ongoing danger created by unlawful traps in animal environments, even inside designated conservation areas.

Immediate action by veterinary teams continues to be an essential part of wildlife conservation, especially in areas where human presence and animal habitats intersect.

The Mara Veterinary Team reaffirmed its dedication to safeguarding wildlife via prompt medical care and ongoing surveillance, while also urging continued actions to tackle illicit activities that threaten animals in protected regions.
