The Milgis Trust

Category: elephants | Date: Jun 04 2008 | By: milgistrust

I’m sorry to say that we have not managed to post any pictures yet with our blogs, but hope to sort this out soon… But just to wet your appetite we have renewed our camel safari web site www.wildfrontierskenya.com which has some wonderful pictures of the Milgis area. Also will give you more of an understanding of the work we do up there, and of how it all works..Of course there are alot of pictures of camels but as you will see on our milgis Trust Logo, [a drawing of a camel, embracing an Elephant] some of our most important work is to encourage the Samburu, Rendille, and Turkana people that it is possible to live with wildlife, and to explain to them the value of these animals that live on their doorstep..They don’t realise what is happening in the rest of the world!! They are under the impression that the rest of the world is as beautiful, spacious, remote, and with wildlife as it is here!!.. in my next blog I am going to give you what I understand has happend to the wildlife, in just the last hundred years in the Northern Frontier District of Kenya… But what I hear from the Samburu is in the ‘old days’ one saw rhino every day.. In fact they remember it was a daily event to be chased by one.. The last rhino in this region was shot in the Keno valley, south Ndotos in 2000.. another reason the Milgis Trust was initiated..
