Cyanide poisoning suspected in deaths of 15 elephants at Kenya sanctuary

Fifteen elephants died from cyanide poisoning; potential broader impact on livestock and local communities dependent on the ecosystem.

Along the edges of Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya, fifteen elephants have died from cyanide poisoning — not at the hands of poachers, but through the quiet, unintended violence of agricultural chemistry. Between late June and late July, animals that had survived decades of conservation effort wandered into tomato farms near Kimana and consumed pesticide-laced crops, meeting a death that took only a day or two to complete. The incident asks an old question in a new form: how do we share a landscape when the tools of survival on one side become instruments of death on the other?
