Finding a single injured buffalo in a herd is hard from the ground, straightforward from the air.
Kipini Conservancy scouts first reported a bull with a wire snare cutting deep into his neck. Our pilot was already on aerial patrol along the northern coast, and our SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Team was nearby. Circling above, the pilot located the injured bull. Dr Lawi of our SWT/KWS Southern Mobile Vet Unit linked up with the team on the ground. After darting from the air, they moved in, removed the snare, and cleaned the wound. The buffalo was revived and rejoined his herd. Full recovery expected.
We fund aerial patrols, anti-poaching teams, and mobile vet units across Kenya, working together day in day out to save wild lives, like this.

Bedtime for Bumpy! He approaches his room at a sprint, then - one little whir of the ears later - flops onto his mattress. A day spent cavorting in the water is tiring work, and our little hippo is more than ready for a good night’s sleep.
Bumpy is one of our newest arrivals. His mother died, likely in a territorial fight defending her baby’s life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service rescued him and brought him into our care.

@TomSteyer You should only count ballots that are in the election box when the all voting ends on Election night. Not drag it in for weeks!! What's the point of cutting off voting in person then?
