Climate change is killing elephants, says Kenya

Kenya's Department of Wildlife and Tourism says climate change is now a bigger threat to elephant conservation than poaching.

Last year, the country recorded 179 elephant deaths due to the ongoing drought in the Horn of Africa.

After successive periods of rain, rivers and watersheds have dried up and grasslands have become wildlife sanctuaries.

The BBC's Mercy Juma reports from Kenya's Tsavo National Park, one of the largest parks in the world.
