Kenya is investigating the deaths of at least 20 elephants in Amboseli National Park since late June. Recent incidents involved a male elephant collapsing and suffering before dying. Preliminary lab analyses from the University of Nairobi suggest cyanide poisoning as a likely cause. The park is near tomato farms utilizing pesticides, raising initial suspicions. However, farmers deny involvement, stating they’ve operated in the area for years without issue. Conservationists are also skeptical that pesticides are the sole cause and believe the source of the poison needs further investigation. Authorities continue to work to determine the exact cause of these alarming elephant fatalities.
