The elephant baby boom in Kenya, around 140 elephant births recorded, is really very good news for wildlife, and the controversy has rushed in Kenya. This is the year 2025, and still this news is going viral on Facebook. Everyone is claiming that the year 2025 is an elephant baby boom year. But without knowing the facts, most popular Facebook pages are sharing this article saying this is the year of the elephant boom because, in Kenya, around 140 baby elephants have been recorded this year.
But when we go deep down into this news, several reports published on the internet say that the year 2020 was the great year for baby elephants, especially in Kenya. Everyone was happy that Kenya witnessed 140 newborn baby elephants during the pandemic. This was great news and spread positivity among wildlife conservationists. The wildlife conservationists definitely had a very hectic and busy year, but this was still wonderful news for the country, and the government also looked into the matter and tried their best to reduce human–animal conflicts. That’s why it was decided to increase the budget for wildlife conservation.
Some social media pages are spreading half or incomplete news, which is causing misconceptions among people that the year 2025 is the elephant baby boom year. This boom did happen, but it was around five years ago when humans were trapped inside their homes and wildlife got some time to live freely. Hunting was also decreased that year, although hunting wasn’t fully stopped — not for skin, horns, or elephant tusks, but many people continued hunting mainly for meat, especially local people.
The government is looking into the matter seriously. The birth of 140 new baby elephants is great news for the country, and this will increase tourism attraction to the place. This news will spread all over the world, and people from everywhere will come to see the record-breaking boom of elephants.
In this article, we are talking about the viral sensation in 2025 claiming that the elephant baby boom year is this year. That means they are not covering the complete news. This incident happened in 2020, but they are saying it happened this year. Currently, it is 2025, and people are having misconceptions. Some people might think this could be true, but many people are knowing or understanding the correct news — the year 2025 is not the boom year; the actual boom year was 2020, not 2025.
