The worst drought in decades has resulted in the deaths of wildlife species such as Wildebeest 512 animals dead; common zebra 381 dead and 205 elephants all in a span of one year.
The Amboseli and Laikipia-Samburu regions (south) which are home to touristy safaris record more than 70 elephant deaths.
Some species like the gravy Zebras which are listed as Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List were badly hit.
The drought has caused mortality of wildlife, mostly herbivore species. The mortalities have arisen because of the depletion of food resources and, as well as water shortages.
Four consecutive rainy seasons have failed in the Horn of Africa driving families and wildlife on the brink of famine.
The Kenyan Tourism and Wildlife minister said authorities were dropping off hay for the animals.
The time to take action is now.
