Comments / pictures

2021: On the morning of 25th April, our team received an immobility alert from Shafaa’s tracking collar in Sera Conservancy, some 30 km north of her usual range in Shaba National Reserve. Immobility alerts are electronic warnings sent when a collared elephant stops moving. A team of rangers from Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) was dispatched, and located her carcass.
