AR-News: (Kenya) Elephant protection boosted

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

A project that uses the latest mobile telephone tracking equipment in 
elephant conservation was launched yesterday. 
It is expected to drastically reduce human-wildlife conflict and elephant 
poaching in parts of northern Kenya. 
The two-year project, estimated to cost Sh28 million, will cover Samburu, 
Isiolo and Laikipia.  
The equipment uses mobile provider Safaricom's Global System for Mobile 
Communication technology. The tracking technology, jointly run by Safaricom and 
Save the Elephants – a local wildlife conservation organisation – will provide 
more accurate information on areas suitable for reintroduction of wild animals 
and their movements.
