In a determined approach to better safeguard these ambassadors of the elephant world, Tsavo Trust and KWS launched the Tsavo "Big Tusker Project" ten years ago with the goal of providing more security and protection to the legendary Tuskers.

In an interesting turn of events, we received numerous reports from locals at Kiangua location, Meru County of a lion hiding in a hedge

KWS Meru team swiftly rushed to scene in a bid to mitigate a possible Human Wildlife Conflict case. On arrival, KWS rangers were astonished to find out that the ‘alleged lion’ was a lion printed carrier bag.

Despite this being a false alarm, we laud the public for raising an alarm in order to mitigate a possible conflict.
