Jane Goodalls Roots & Shoots Kenya organized a Voluntary Community Veterinary Programme in Maasia Mara on 29th November 2014. Background Pests and diseases – Pests such as ticks and the tsetse fly, and diseases e.g. rinderpest, anthrax, east coast fever etc. are common in the pastoral areas. This has contributed to the death of large herds of animals. The programme provided veterinary care to 5,000 animals (cattle, sheep and goat) in Lemek Conservancy, Aitong juction, Narok County.
