The grave situation for the Grevey’s in Baragoi area…
Category: Turkana | Date: Oct 11 2008 | By: milgistrust
Only 20 years ago when we used to commute between Baragoi and the Milgis across the Elbarta plains, I remember seeing lots of herds of Grevey Zebra… As children we didn’t even know how rare they were… Every time you drove to Turkana they seemed common. They were all over the place….. It was only ten years ago when It started dawning on us that they were being decimated..We raised the alarm… Nobody seemed to be in a position to help… What we are now seeing and hearing ref. the slaughter of these majestic zebras today has been going on unabated, mainly because of the dangers… Tribal fighting… There is only about 2000 left in the world of this special animal… Moses Lesaloyias words at the end of the meeting between the Turkana and the people [ previous blog], who are concerned for the safety, are true…and thats what we need to work on..

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!
