The crucial August 6th meeting between the Amboseli community and Kenya Wildlife Service occurred as scheduled with the Director Julius Kipng'etich leading the delegation. Nothing was resolved on the spot but tempers were cool and there was rational dialogue.

A section of the community presented KWS with a memorandum which the Director agreed to put before the board and ministry. They are supposed to respond in 21 days.

The Chairman of Olgulului Group Ranch (the one that surrounds most of Amboseli National Park) said that no more animals would be killed.
