Likondi,

You look very unKenyan when you refer to the Kenyan treasure as KWS’s problem. Simply redefine yourself.

‘KWS should take care of their own’? Very enlightened.. Kenya’s wildlife belongs to YOU – do you want it to survive or what? It’s a similar situation to what has happened at Nairobi National Park, with the Kitengela migratory corridor being blocked because of illegal developments.. Wildlife in the Mara is becoming boxed in, amongst other problems.

How would you feel if you could never leave Nairobi?

I thought a Giraffe is a wild animal-it is not a pet. KWS should take care of their own

Dear All,

This is a very sad situation, the solution rests in us, do we need the animals, if yes then we should take action, unfortunately we (Kenyans) are always not willing to take action because taking action starts with you as an individual.

Remember that conditions unfavorable for animals will also be unfavorable for human beings, i.e. after we have destroyed all the animals, the next step will be to destroy ourselves but who is willing to die?

Let us join conservation campaigns and do exactly what we say is right if it is to vacate a protected area let us do it, start with your self to move out of Maasai Mara, Mau, Mt. Elgon, Kakamega forests, Mt. Kenya and others, there is no any other option.

You guyz join conservation groups and work there to conserve our environment for our better future, you could join Youths for Conservation, Society for Conservation GIS, Green Action among others you might be aware of.

Thanks for the information,
Clifford
