Some things are worth repeating. So I will say this again. Wildlife conservation in Kenya is in deep crisis. The future of our wildlife and all forms of biodiversity, plants, and animals as wells landscapes is grave. Early this year Dr Richard Leakey observed that dozens of poaching bosses had been allowed to act with impunity, orchestrating massacres that could result in the extinction of elephants and rhinos.
Leakey’s remarks and the outrage by many conservationists and concerned citizens was provoked by the fact that in just three months since January we lost 18 rhinos and more than 50 elephants. In April, five senior officials at KWS were suspended as part of government investigations into mismanagement and an upsurge of poaching.”
