Visiting the site where the dead elephant lies…

Tusitiridhowlamu@africaonline.co.keThe other day I went to ‘ pay my respect’s ‘ to one of the elephants that had died in the beginning of may… It was fabulous and touching to see that every single elephant that had passed through had stopped and spent a bit of time there… The normal trails up or down the Laana Nikan Lugga have all changed route so as to pass by… And have all been busy!!!… Not only with Elephant tracks, of course, but all the carnivores as well…
The tracks of many many elephants, surrounding the dead elephant…
Again, would like to take this opportunity to especially to thank Theresa and Luke for supporting our trust… Your donations are hugely appreciated… Especially with the news below….
We read in the Kenya news paper, and on the wildlife direct emergency blog, about the Chinese being involved in renewed elephant poaching and this is bothering us, as they have been given the contract to build the road to Marsabit… Our scouts are keeping an extra vigilant ‘eye out ‘ ….

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!

I just hate that China got its way like this……..makes me sick for the elephants……..this is just not fair…these beautiful creatures have an excellent memory and apparently respect the death of another…..thanks as always for sharing your news……your part of the world is certainly different than mine and more interesting!
