Wildlife census kicked off Monday in the vast Tsavo ecosystem that has in recent years been hit by drought linked to climate change.

The 8-day exercise comes after the 2022 drought that led to the death of wild animals in the Tsavo National Park that straddles Taita Taveta, Makueni, and Tana River counties.
