15 Elephants Found Dead in Kenya — Poisoned by Farm Chemicals?

Fifteen elephants died between 24 June and 24 July 2026 in Kenya's Kimana corridor, a wildlife path between two national parks. Wildlife officials think cyanide — a deadly chemical used on nearby tomato farms — may have caused paralysis seen in the carcasses. But farmers and conservationists aren't sure, noting elephants and farms have coexisted for decades without such deaths. Test results are pending.
