Kenya has officially launched a comprehensive national wildlife census aimed at strengthening conservation efforts for the country's iconic species. This ambitious year-long initiative, set to conclude in June 2025, seeks to provide an accurate count of both land and aquatic species across Kenya.
The census is designed to address the growing threats posed by climate change and human activities, which have significantly impacted wildlife populations. By adopting a phased approach, the project ensures thorough data collection and analysis, enabling more effective conservation strategies.
Experts believe that the insights gained from this census will be instrumental in developing targeted programs to protect endangered species and preserve Kenya's rich biodiversity. This effort underscores the nation's commitment to safeguarding its natural heritage for future generations.
