A JOYFUL MOMENT FOR WILDLIFE AS EWASO NYIRO BEGINS TO FLOW AGAIN
What an amazing day in nature! ๐๐ Today, Ngaremara Environmental Conservation CBO, together with the Isiolo County Department of Tourism, represented by Assistant Director Mr. Nagele Hassan, and Grevy's Zebra Trust , participated in the joint Ewaso Nyiro River Drying-Up Situation Analysis.
The team visited Ewaso Nyiro through Buffalo Springs National Reserve and, around Soroi Larsenโs, observed sections of the river that were completely dry, with wildlife roaming around in search of water.
We proceeded upstream towards Soroi Samburu to establish how far the dry sections extended. To our happiness and relief, we eventually encountered water flowing downstream. ๐ง๐ The sight was beautifulโnot only for the team, but for the wildlife as well. ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ Some wildlife stood in the riverbed as though witnessing the return of a precious gift from nature.
We continued monitoring the river downstream towards Shaba National Reserve, where we observed stronger water flow in some sections, supported by natural springs within the reserve.๐ง
Ngaremara Environmental Conservation CBO sincerely appreciates the Isiolo County Government for its support towards conservation. After concerns were raised about the drying up of Ewaso Nyiro, the County Government responded immediately by engaging conservation stakeholders to assess the situation.
We also appreciate Samburu National Reserve for its cooperation and coordination with the team conducting the situation analysis.๐ค
We are proud and happy to have undertaken this important activity collectively as conservation stakeholders from Isiolo and Samburu counties. Working together allows us to better understand the challenges facing Ewaso Nyiro and identify ways to support wildlife, communities and the wider ecosystem.
We thank God for the return of water to some sections of Ewaso Nyiro. ๐๐ง The happiness witnessed among wildlife gives us hope.
ONE RIVER. ONE ECOSYSTEM. ONE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY.๐ง
