Introduction
The effects of the good short rains have been felt in the Amboseli area in moving the pasture barometer into the green zone. The green zone signals abundant forage in the coming dry season. Body condition of wildlife and livestock has also fully recovered from the 2022-2023 drought. Milk yields have yet to bounce back due to impregnation and calving being delayed by over nine months following the drought. Wildebeest calving has also been delayed by a year because of the poor condition of animals at the end of the drought.

ACP’s long-term pasture barometer has now shifted to the green zone after the short rains that persisted into the new year.
