A research camp with environmental organization Save the Elephants (STE) in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya fell victim to a flash flood last week, after the Ewaso Ng’iro River broke its banks. Fortunately, none of the researchers or employees were hurt, but the camp lost most of the equipment—including tents, food, computers, and collars—and data in the flood.

Samburu is elephant country. Arthur Neumann, the legendary Victorian ivory hunter, used to camp here in what is today the Samburu National Reserve, and now it is where Iain Douglas-Hamilton, one of the world's most distinguished biologists, conducts his research for Save the Elephants , the organisation he founded in 1993. A few miles downstream from Iain's headquarters lies Elephant Watch Camp, presided over by Oria Douglas-Hamilton, his Kenyan-born Italian wife. In a small park over-endowed wi...

The biologist Iain Douglas-Hamilton is walking up on an elephant, a sizable young female, nubile and shy. Her name, as she's known to him and his colleagues, is Anne. She stands half-concealed within a cluster of trees on the knob of a hill in remote northern Kenya, browsing tranquilly with several members of her family. Around her neck hangs a stout leather collar along which, at the crest of her shoulders, like a tiny porkpie hat, sits an electronic transmitter. That transmitter has allowed Do...

Ancient elephant trails and lion breeding habitats are under threat from a series of hotels being built in a remote Kenyan game park, claim conservationists. Already there are five hotels in the two parks, where lions hide from the midday sun under acacia thorn bushes and families of elephants amble to drink from the Ewaso Nyiro river, which separates the reserves. Saba Douglas-Hamilton, the BBC wildlife presenter, said yesterday that the building must be stopped.

Twins are a rarely encountered in elephant populations- said to form only 1%. Twins have only rarely been recorded in areas where the research of elephants is established. Amboseli, which is one of the oldest elephant research projects in Africa, is known to have recorded a case only once in a population and they have been researching for over thirty years. This is the first case recorded in Samburu.

Kinango legislator Gonzi Rai wants the Kenya Wildlife Service to drive elephants out of the newly created Kinango District. Speaking in Samburu Town, Rai said the elephants were partly to blame for the famine facing his constituents. "The Government must drive these beasts back to their habitats because they have been disrupting our operations as they cause panic and worry, which has led to famine," he said.

A wild bull elephant strolls across the Kenyan countryside, ears flapping, oblivious to conservationist Ian Craig, creeping up behind him, gun poised. This is no ordinary hunt. The gun is not loaded with bullets, but tranquilliser darts. Mr Craig and his fellow conservationists hope to keep a track on the elephants in the Samburu National Park in northern Kenya, by using mobile phones, so they can send SMS messages giving their latest location.
