"The wildlife has no boundaries," said Lakara. An elephant may be inside a protected area one day and on community land the next. During the dry season, when water and food become less available, such movements can bring wildlife closer to homes, livestock and farmland, making encounters between people and animals more frequent.

Lakara said the team had observed more than 50 elephants the previous day as they moved from Chyulu Hills National Park toward Amboseli in search of water.
