Kenya is doubling down on wildlife conservation with a bold five-year strategy launched by the Kenya Wildlife Service. The 2024-2028 roadmap, unveiled in Nairobi, promises a science-powered approach to safeguard elephants, lions, and other iconic species while boosting local communities. ๐โจ
Science Meets Sustainability
Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano emphasized using data analytics and ecological research to tackle poaching and habitat loss. 'This isnโt just about saving animals โ itโs about creating a wildlife economy that benefits everyone,' she told reporters. ๐๐ฟ
Community-Centric Conservation
The plan prioritizes partnerships with Indigenous groups, offering training and revenue-sharing models from eco-tourism. New anti-poaching tech and climate-resilient park management systems are also in the works. ๐ก๐ค
