They called, we responded, and hundreds joined us, not as spectators, but as part of the team alongside our Veterinary and Capture Unit. KWS is currently undertaking the translocation of more than 10 bull elephants from conflict-prone areas around Salama Village, Laikipia West Constituency, to a KWS-managed park. This initiative aims to reduce pressure on community farmlands while strengthening genetic diversity in their new habitat.
Salama residents have long coexisted with wildlife, especially elephants, as their natural movement corridors increasingly intersect with farms due to proximity to Rumuruti Forest. Attracted by cultivated crops, these intelligent animals recently raided farms, becoming habitual visitors. But rather than wait for tragedy or escalation, the Kenya Wildlife Service took a proactive approach, one focused not only on protecting livelihoods, but also protect the elephants before conflict could deepen.
What unfolded in day one of the exercise was not just another wildlife operation. It was something deeper. Something rare. A moment where conservation stopped being “their responsibility” and became “our responsibility.” A moment where a community and conservationists stood shoulder to shoulder, not divided by fear, frustration, or conflict, but united by purpose.
When the rains turned roads into deep mud and recovery vehicles carrying sedated elephants became stuck, the people of Salama came out in large numbers to help the KWS teams push, pull, and clear paths for the trucks to move again. In those moments, the line between conservation officers and community disappeared. The people did not see the elephants as belonging to KWS alone, but as ‘our wildlife,’ a responsibility that rests on all our shoulders.
This is the spirit KWS continues to champion across the country: working with communities, for communities, and alongside communities in securing a future where people and wildlife thrive together as stipulated in the KWS Strategic Plan 2024-2028.
And just as the residents of Salama stood with us during day one of this exercise by embracing our work as a shared responsibility, your support can help empower the KWS Veterinary and Capture Teams to continue protecting wildlife, protect communities, and secure a thriving future for both people and wildlife.
