NEW Webpage: Kenya Wildife Service

Yay!! Meet the new site for Kenya Wildlife Service.

In comparison to the former official webpage, which in my personal opinion it had seen better days, the Kenya Wildlife Service has a beautiful site and yet more interactive. Kudos to the men and women behind this success, it was really wild! Hey, check it out. Or you can visit nmy blog specials to view the page.

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) conserves and manages Kenya’s wildlife for the Kenyan people and the world. It is a state corporation established by an Act of Parliament Cap 376 with the mandate to conserve and manage wildlife in Kenya, and to enforce related laws and regulations.

The challenges facing wildlife and biodiversity conservation in Kenya are many and varied. They include climate change, habitat degradation and loss, forest depletion, tourism market volatility, human wildlife conflict brought on by population growth and changing land use habits of communities that co-exist with wildlife as well as wildlife crime.

To tackle these issues, KWS has employed a multi-pronged approach and strategies and engage different interest groups, stakeholders and partners.KWS undertakes conservation and management of wildlife resources outside protected areas in collaboration with stakeholders. It is our goal to work with others to conserve, protect and sustainably manage wildlife resources.

The community wildlife program of KWS in collaboration with others encourages biodiversity conservation by communities living on land essential to wildlife, such as wildlife corridors and dispersal lands outside parks and reserves.

Lets all help to conserve!
