An escalation of human-wildlife conflict has also been witnessed as wild animals have retreated from dispersal areas and into Reserves and Conservancies. Many cases were attended to by the Mara Veterinary Unit which could have been linked to human-wildlife conflict or poaching, and 8 of them involved elephants. A sad casualty of this conflict was one of the members of the famous coalition of cheetahs in the Maasai Mara National Reserve known as ‘Tano Bora’ alias ‘The 5 musketeers’.
