A group of elephants was sedated before being moved during the relocation process in Rumuruti.
The sedated elephant had its oxygen levels and heartbeat monitored using a pulse oximeter at Naibo on April 4, 2025, in Rumuruti.
This occurred as part of the elephant relocation to Meru National Park because of a rise in human-wildlife conflicts.
The Kenya Wildlife Service stated that moving animals helps promote harmonious relationships, enabling communities to prosper while providing wildlife with ample areas for safe and unrestricted movement.
Four elephants were safely captured in the Rumuruti–Naibor area following a rise in human- wildlife conflict.
They will be translocated to the landscapes of Meru National Park.
