The deaths happened in the Kimana Sanctuary and Kuku Ranch areas surrounding the park, the authority said.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya has previously recorded incidents of elephants being poisoned as a result of poaching and human-wildlife conflict. But officials say it&#8217;s the first time in decades the region has recorded elephant deaths on this scale, according to CBS News&#8217; partner network <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c3w0d7yeqlxo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC News<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>KWS said there was currently no evidence pointing to a single cause of death, BBC News reported.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary tests on samples collected from the elephants by a laboratory at the University of Nairobi detected a &#8220;potential toxic substance,&#8221; while separate analyses by Kenya&#8217;s Government Chemist were negative for the toxins tested. KWS said further tests are underway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Environmental investigations are also being undertaken, including the analysis of water sources and other potential environmental contaminants within the affected areas, to establish whether the elephants were exposed to a common source,&#8221; KWS said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Officials sought to reassure the public, saying there was no evidence the condition could be transmitted to humans.<\/p>\n<p>The Amboseli National Park is located near the Tanzania border at the northwestern foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. There were more than 2,000 elephants in the Amboseli ecosystem as of 2025, according to BBC News.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
