15 PLANES  AND 48.000 SQUARE CHILOMETERS OF BUSH.

ONE WEEK OF COUNTLESS OURS OF FLYGHT WITH THE PURPOSE TO COUNT WHATEVER IS ON THE GROUND. THE MAIN TARGHET WAS  A FRESH COUNT OF THE ELEPHANT POPULATION OF THIS VAST ECOSYSTEM. SADLY THE RESULT IS NOT THE BEST ASPECTED: 11.000 ELEPHANT COUNTED, COMPARED WITH THE 12.573 OF THE LAST CENSUS  THREE YEARS AGO.

IF IT IS TRUE THE FACT THAT THIS AREA IS HAVING A CERTAIN KIND OF STABILITY, IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT A LOSS OF ABOUT 1.500 ELEPHANT  IS  SHOWING HOW BADLY AFFECTED IS THE ELEPHANT POPULATION BY THE OUT OF CONTROL POACHING AND ILLEGAL  IVORY TRADE.

UNBELIEVABLE SURPRISE IN MAASAI MARA. THE WILDEBEESTS AND THE OTHER ERBIVORES , THAT LEFT MAASAI MARA IN OCTOBER, FOUND TANZANIA DRY AND WITHOUT GRASS. SO THEY DECIDED TO COME BACK TO KENYA LOOKING FOR PASTURE , AND THEY FOUND THE MARA GREEN AND PLENTY OF FOOD.

THIS PICTURE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN SEE NOW ALL OVER THE RESERVE: AN AMAZING SHOW OF WILDLIFE!
