History and Some Problems in the Nature and Wildlife Conservation in Kenya

I studied the history of nature conservation, the behavior of visitors in national parks, the wildlife conservation and the conservation movement in Kenya. The main subject of the nature conservation in Africa has been the construction and the maintenance of the national park system. The disturbance to wildlife by visitors may become a problem in the near future, because they tend to concentrate in some national parks near Nairobi and at particular time i. e. early morning and evening. The most harmful wildlife to men and their farmlands is elephant followed by leopard and buffalo. However, the elephants decreased drastically as well as black rhinoceros in Kenya. Japan has some responsibility for this problems as one of the largest consumers of ivory. As concerns conservation movement in Kenya, conservation education is new and successful, though the target people is still limited
