Worth reading for anyone interested in real conservation not what the AWF, WWF, IUCN want you to believe. Lets face it what they have done and others like them does not work has never worked other than making them fat incomes. They in a sense are the real killers of our wildlife. Read what they do. look between the lines they are only interested in tourism and money. Is it because they feel that is needed to save wildlife or is it because they are full of greed. "Over the years, I observed successive KWS leaders declare war on the Maasai. The most recent being the former director, Dr. Julius Kipng’etich – the man who declared that he will meet us for “a spear for a spear, warrior for warrior.” He had a spike of arrogance that surpassed Dr. Richard Leakey’s statements of lions being more valuable than the Maasai when it comes to the tourist dollar. One just needs to visit a Facebook page called Kenyans for Wildlife to see how much hatred some people in wildlife conservation have towards the Maasai and their cattle." Anyone with an ounce of a brain knows you must include the stakeholders for anything to really last and work in a culture. The above mentioned have done everything but include the stakeholders and are still doing the same. Now they do it because they do not want to lose those nice incomes and donations they get from those big big donors and governments. WildlifeDirect takes how many millions from kenyan airways to hold a press conference with the first lady as a PR stunt and to do self promotion. Any real conservationist would not even stand next to the first lady when it comes to poaching per the families long history of profiting from it. Read the article and lets just hope some of what this reporter shares has some energy to grow and be the change.
