It is a kit to identify fingerprints of fingers that came into contact with ivory up to 28 days after handling.

The sudden bursting of a pipe in Tsavo was enough, and for the animals, which were tested by drought, it was a great feast.
The Tsavo East is still in emergency drought and while on the coast the predictions give insistent rain and in large quantities, probably the park will only marginally benefit from all this goodness.

There's always a desire in me to deal with wild reality across the border, if only to learn how others are organized and how much could be improved in the reality of parks in Kenya, especially in Tsavo East.
We could call it "an out-of-door trip" for the Friends of Tsavo: two thousand km between return, with our car, through Tanzania to the Cratere di Ngorongoro, visited after ten years, when still my curiosity was only as a tourist and not as HonoraryWarden of KWS.

The savannah burns and the Tsavo East is now an expanse of reddish ground with clumps of grass and dried trees.
Arid and dusty herbs moved by the wind that raises an impalpable veil that sits everywhere.
A cloud of dust blurs the rearview mirror, dust that settles just a few minutes after our passage: but how long does it rain in Tsavo?

Fighting against poaching and the international ivory ban are yielding their fruits: in three years the number of elephants in Kenya has increased almost 15 percent (14.7 for precision).
The announcement was made by the Kenya Wildlife Service, thanks to the census carried out last February in Tsavo's ecosystem (East and West), where nearly 90 percent of the elephants in the country reside, and other Kenyan reserves. It was the most impressive and modern census ever made in Kenya. In Maasai Mara the increase was up 72%.

We are at Tsavo and along the River Circuit we notice three male lynxes, short and short mane, walking in a flat area dotted with low bushes. We know we are three brothers and one of them limply.
Walk for a few feet without leaning on the left front paw, then stops to sit, visibly overwhelmed by the pain.
Next to him is one of the brothers, the most thin and sneer, so that one can see the ribs of the chest cage and the bones of the hips.
He follows the wounded brother with the same slower pace as if to assist and comfort him while the third lion, in good health, is out in the open plain and begins to emit a low and dull recall.

Blue skies, white clouds, stifling heat and not a drop of water.
For too long the drought does not loosen his fierce grip and Tsavo, for those of us who had been missing for about two months, now appears a giant animal in hibernation that is consuming the last of his energy slowly, very sparingly, waiting for the long-awaited rain, the only oral rehydration therapy can work wonders.
Only some green area dotted here and there along the path of the Galana river, shady and precious places for animals during the day will take refuge to avoid the hottest hours of the day.

The Friends of Tsavo are back in the classroom in the secondary school "Enrico Fermi" in the province of Varese to meet the boys who had participated in our "African lessons". The initiative promoted by the teachers to sensitize students to the problems of the African continent has achieved an important educational value. For many Africa means to recall children from pot belly and families afflicted by poverty and despair.
And this is the image that the media tend to communicate more frequently to appeal to the feelings of solidarity.

The savannah never ceases to give us great emotions.
An elephant of about three years has fallen into a puddle of Pipeline in Tsavo East, perhaps a victim of his own thirst. The drought continues to persist so relentless and elephants near water sources become more and more greedy and nervous.
And mothers often do not pay enough attention to their children.

Italians friends of animals to save a lion of Tsavo doors.
An extraordinary adventure happened last Sunday in the border of the Galana Ranch Conservancy with the Tsavo East National Park.
A bloody trap, placed by poachers in order to kill animals of the savannah, and then resell the meat, has intrigued perhaps a week earlier, a young male lion's left in his turn the victim.

Wide Satao, the legendary elephant of over forty years, known by the rangers, by expert guides and Tsavo East enthusiastic visitors for its huge, incredible fangs, was saved from the clutches of poachers and brought to life after a series of poisoned darts thrown by bastards (yes, we do not find more conciliatory adjectives) they had seriously injured.
The hope of the criminals was to act at night, when the elephant would have slumped, to remove its incredible ivory tusks and sell them on the black market smugglers.

Lino Marano, an old fox of Africa, was moved as a child when a four-day elephant arrived at Tsavo Buffalo Camp, the prestigious Savana Malindi Key Group lodge he manages.
"Pippi" as it was dubbed the orphaned puppy, was made immediately to love and was adopted by the field staff, although it will be the "Sheldrick 'association to maintain it, as with the elephants.
