Kenyan Conservationists Advocate for Wildlife Corridors Amid Shrinking Habitats
As Kenya observes World Wildlife Day, conservationists are raising alarms over the shrinking of wildlife habitats due to climate change and human expansion, which have increased human-wildlife conflicts. Wildlife corridors, such as those being expanded by Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, offer a solution by connecting separated habitats, allowing animals to move freely and reducing conflicts. Lewa’s elephant population has grown significantly, but rising numbers are straining ecosystems, highlighting the need for continued habitat expansion. Conservationists urge proactive measures to tackle these challenges and ensure long-term sustainability of wildlife populations.
