Three Grevey Zebra dead??….
Category: Samburu | Date: Sep 25 2008 | By: milgistrust
With only about 2000 of these magnificent Zebras left in the world… Three more gone, is disastrous??… Our Manager has rushed off to the scene west of the base to see if there are any clues to what may have killed them…Any ideas! of what to look for?… Could the same virus that is killing the goats be the problem… It is getting dryer and dryer but this morning there are quite a few whirl winds, which is a good sign, its very very hot and the convulvulous are out in flower again!!.. So maybe at the new moon we may be lucky… This morning the women from Ilgwe Eldome came to ask me for help, because their goats are all dying… The goats do look terrible…Virus, burning and over grazing combined with the on going drought is not a great mix.. What can one advise?? I told them that we will have a meeting after our safari and discuss these problems… I told them that us women have got to ‘all pull together’ to make things better……

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!
