An elephant stretches during their aerial census at the Tsavo West national park within
An elephant stretches during their aerial census at the Tsavo West national park within the Tsavo-Mkomazi ecosystem, southeast of Kenyas capital Nairobi, February 4, 2014. The elephant is Kenyas flag-ship species and so its distribution and condition is a good indicator of the status of wildlife. The results help policy makers and park management make sound decisions on resource allocation for security operations and conflict management.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Thomas Mukoya, an elephant takes a moment to stretch during their aerial census at the Tsavo West national park within the Tsavo-Mkomazi ecosystem in Kenya. The majestic creature stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, showcasing its impressive size and strength. As Kenya's flagship species, the distribution and condition of elephants serve as vital indicators for wildlife conservation efforts. The results obtained from such censuses play a crucial role in informing policy makers and park management about resource allocation for security operations and conflict management. The image beautifully portrays the serene beauty of nature, with no human presence disturbing the peaceful scene. The elephant's powerful leg is extended gracefully while its long tail sways gently in rhythm with its movements. Its magnificent tusks add to its grandeur, reminding us of both their significance and vulnerability. Mukoya skillfully captures this moment using creative composition techniques, highlighting the depth of field that accentuates every detail of this remarkable animal. Against a picturesque nonagricultural field, we are reminded of how essential it is to protect these precious creatures and preserve their natural habitats. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that our actions today will determine not only the fate of elephants but also countless other species who rely on these ecosystems for survival.
