The Wildlife Training and Research Institute has embarked on a mortality audit to assess the effects of the ongoing drought on national parks and reserves.
Initial reports indicate that the Amboseli ecosystem is the hardest hit by the drought, leaving tens of animals, mainly the wildebeest, dead.
The audit will also establish the effects of the drought and mitigation measures meant to rescue thousands of wild animals.
Already, tens of wildebeests in Amboseli National Park in Kajiado county have died due to the dry spell that has also displaced hundreds of wild animals.
