Africa Science News Service - New plans for wildlife aerial census in the TSAVO/MKOMAZI ecosystem: "The objective of the count is to establish the trends of elephants in the ecosystem.
The aerial counts are held after every three years. The last aerial count in the ecosystem was held on January/February 2008.
The ecosystem is divided into 43 counting blocks. Each block is assigned to one aircraft per day. A total of 9 aircraft will participate in the February 2011 aerial count, and about 100 participants will be involved.
During the census, KWS and IFAW will organise visits to wildlife-related community projects, key tourist attractions in the region, aerial views of the region as well as anti-poaching operations."
