Current situation report
By David Western, Victor N. Mose, David Maitumo, Immaculate Ombongi, Sakimba Kimiti, Winfridah Kemunto, Samuel Lekanaiya, Paul Kasaine and Sunte Kimiti
Preface
Our Amboseli Conservation Program Outlook Report gives the state of pastures, livestock, and wildlife health across the Amboseli ecosystem as of the end of June. Our ground monitoring and satellite imagery of the pasture and vegetation give an extremely good outlook in the coming dry season through to the short rains later in the year.
The consistent rains from late 2024 through May 2025 produced an excellent crop of grass and strong bush and tree growth. Livestock health and milk yields have recovered fully since the 2023 drought, and market prices for cattle have reached the highest on record due to the shortage of animals and strong national demand for beef. The body condition of wildlife has also fully recovered, signaling a healthy rangeland and steady population recovery now that animals have resumed calving.
