NAIROBI - Rhinos, lions, buffalo and leopards range against the background of a city skyline in the Nairobi National Park, Africa’s only game reserve within a capital city.
But the Kenya Wildlife Service has proposed a 10-year plan to fence land along the southern boundary to reduce conflict between people and animals. “This is the lifeline of this park,” said Reinhard Nyandire, a conservationist working with the Friends of Nairobi National Park, gesturing to the open pastures behind him.The volunteer group is dedicated to helping KWS keep the lands around the park open.Commercial buildings are encroaching on the park’s land and in 2018, a six-km railway bridge was built through it. Sewage from nearby settlements empties into the river, KWS reports say.
The plan proposes fencing in land on the southern boundary if the owners are willing, or if they do not agree, to fence the park itself.
