SloveniaThe Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is investigating the deaths of 15 elephants in Amboseli National Park between June 24 and July 24. Ten of the elephants showed signs of partial paralysis before dying. Authorities suspect poisoning from nearby watermelons grown in the Kimana Reserve, where there have been previous allegations of illegal chemical use in farming. Samples from the elephant carcasses revealed traces of cyanide, a chemical used in agriculture to control pests. Officials warn that if confirmed, this could affect other wildlife and livestock in the area. The loss of these elephants is significant for both the species and the ecosystem they support.
