内罗毕报道 — 环保组织呼吁对安博塞利国家公园（Amboseli National Park）十五头大象的死亡事件进行独立调查，并表示将这些动物的死因初步指向氰化物中毒的发现，暴露了肯尼亚农药监管和野生动物保护中存在的危险漏洞。\n\n该联盟由非洲动物福利网络（ANAW）、肯尼亚自然保护协会（Nature Kenya）、肯尼亚有机农业网络（KOAN）、肯尼亚生物多样性和生物安全协会（BIBA Kenya）以及食物之路倡议（Route to Food Initiative）组成，他们表示这起事件应被视为需要紧急采取行动的国家环境紧急事件。\n\n这些组织在联合声明中表示：这些大象的死并非孤立的悲剧。它们是一个严厉的警告，表明高危农药继续对野生动物、生态系统和人类健康构成严重威胁。\n\n据游说团体称，初步调查显示这些大象在摄入被氰化物污染的物质后死亡，这引发了人们对高危化学品的使、储存以及管控执行力度的新担忧。\n\n通过WhatsApp和LinkedIn关注最新头条新闻\n\nUGM敦促对与大象死亡相关的毒素展开调查\n\n这些组织警告称，这起中毒事件凸显了肯尼亚农药治理中存在的系统性弱点，并指出在其他地方被禁止或受到严格限制的化学品，尽管它们有可能对野生动物和社区造成伤害，但仍然能够轻易获取。\n\n他们表示：这起事件表明，在更多生命（无论是野生动物还是人类）消逝之前，迫切需要加强对高危农药的监管、监测和执法。

Nairobi — Conservation organisations have called for an independent investigation into the deaths of fifteen elephants in Amboseli National Park, saying preliminary findings linking the animals to cyanide poisoning expose dangerous gaps in Kenya's pesticide regulation and wildlife protection.

The coalition, comprising the Africa Network for Animal Welfare (ANAW), Nature Kenya, the Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN), the Biodiversity and Biosafety Association of Kenya (BIBA Kenya) and the Route to Food Initiative, said the incident should be treated as a national environmental emergency requiring urgent action.

"The deaths of these elephants are not an isolated tragedy. They are a stark warning that hazardous pesticides continue to pose grave risks to wildlife, ecosystems and human health," the organisations said in a joint statement.

According to the lobby groups, preliminary investigations indicate the elephants died after ingesting cyanide-contaminated substances, raising fresh concerns over the use, storage and enforcement of controls on highly hazardous chemicals.

The organisations warned that the poisoning underscores systemic weaknesses in Kenya's pesticide governance, arguing that chemicals banned or severely restricted elsewhere remain accessible despite their potential to harm wildlife and communities.

"This incident demonstrates the urgent need to strengthen regulation, monitoring and enforcement of hazardous pesticides before more lives--both wildlife and human--are lost," they said.
