"With butterflies and warriors"

DC 081.55 001 elephant, sera conservancy, northern kenya-from the series 'with butterflies and warriors'-David Chancellor - an elephant collaring team watches as an elephant recovers from a tranquilising dart at one of the Northern Rangeland Trusts most northerly conservancies. Fitted to a lone bull elephant it will be supplying scientists with a detailed plan of his migration, it will also be used to monitor his well being as he travels through area’s rife with poaching. The future of wildlife in northern Kenya if it is to survive, will require support and engagement from local communities allowing the safe migration of wildlife along centuries-old routes, across tribal lands. 'with butterflies and warriors' The poaching of wildlife is well documented and should not be underplayed, however, what remains largely unseen is the important part that local communities play in conserving and protecting the wildlife that they live alongside. This is the story of those communities in northern Kenya who have come together as a collective of 27 community conservancies in order that they may safeguard the future of a wide range of species. The future of wildlife in northern Kenya will require support and engagement from local communities thus allowing the safe migration of wildlife along centuries old routes, across tribal lands. This is particularly important for species such as Grevy's zebra, and elephant, who have large home ranges and require access to large tracts of land.
