Well, howdy there, internet people. It's Billy Young. So today we are going to talk about
elephants and giraffes and zebras, oh my, and drought in Kenya. Normally, when we talk
about the impacts of climate change, we talk about how it hits people and how people are
affected. But there are obviously a whole bunch of other concerns, and there are things
that we will notice before the people start being impacted as severely as they eventually
will be. And one of the good canaries in the coal mine is animals and how they are responding
to shifting climates, particularly drought. We have a report from the Wildlife Service
there in Kenya. 205 elephants, 512 wildebeest, 381 zebras, that's the common type of zebra,
51 buffalo, 12 giraffe, and 49 grevy's, zebras. Those are endangered. Gone. Gone. Currently,
there isn't a plan to deal with this. You have experts talking about what to do. I mean,
a lot of them are saying that the solution is to bring in water. That's a lot of water
and salt licks. You're talking about thousands upon thousands of gallons of water a day.
I honestly don't know where they're going to get it, how they're going to manage getting
it to where it needs to be. This is a sign. I'm sure it will probably be overlooked like
a lot of others. This is one of those things that we really shouldn't ignore, but we probably
will. These animals, they're adapted to this area. And it's a harsh area to begin with.
When you start experiencing this kind of loss due to the climate, it's something to pay
attention to. It's clear from this that there will be ongoing problems, not just with animals,
but with people getting food, water in this region. It certainly appears that the devil
has come to Savo, but the devil's drought. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a
good day.
