Veterinary doctors from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) are working round the clock to save the life of an elephant suspected to have been poisoned before collapsing in Imenti Forest.
Addressing residents of Naari after examining the elephant, KWS eastern conservation area assistant director, Robert O'brien, and Imenti North Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) Obel Ojwang, called on locals to help protect the animals rather than killing them.
