More snared elephants

Edwin is reporting more snared elephants being sighted coming out of the forest nearly every day from where he is based at Mountain Lodge. KWS vets are not available for now and even if we can get someone soon there is no guarantee that they will be helped because of the forest cover. As the days go by while we look for funding for the Joint Wildlife Protection team more and more little elephants and other species will suffer. I am currently on the other (Northern) side of Mount Kenya preparing for the 10 to 4 Mountain Bike Challenge which is only a three weeks away now. I’m setting up meetings for the 10 to 4 and other projects and having a look at the route and campsites for the event. I am enjoying being back on Kisima Farm where I’m staying for the rest of the week thanks to the Dyers. I will go and see the progress of the elephant corridor fence tomorrow. Thankfully now that some of the Virgin money has arrived with us we have signed off on the contract for the underpasses. The underpasses will go below two roads (one of which is a fairly major highway) so that the elephants can use the corridor safely! I hope to post some pics of the fence over the next couple of days.
