VOICED: Kenya conservationists launch tag system t

The video discusses the challenges of poaching in a park where 50 animals were killed last year. It follows a team as they tranquilize an elephant to fit a tracking device, aiming to reduce poaching by monitoring elephant movements. The elephant, a male aged 30-40, is found to have been injured by poisoned arrows, a common poaching method. The team treats the wounds and fits the collar, which will provide data for 20 months. Despite fitting devices on nine elephants, controlling poaching remains difficult due to limited ranger resources in a large park.
