Who wants to buy 4 million butterflies? A man in Nairobi has been collecting 🦋 for decades and he's ready to sell but can't find a buyer. There's a catch...

l went to see the local lepidopterist who has probably the world's largest private collection of butterflies

[Wildlife Research & Training Institute @WRTIKenya]

Earlier today, @WRTIKenya Director Dr Patrick Omondi hosted a team from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) led by the Director of Conservation and Policy Dr Andrew Terry and ZSL-Kenya Country Director, Gurveena Ghataure.

They had a fruitful engagement in areas of collaboration and partnership in wildlife research and training.

Dr Omondi highlighted the Institute’s mandate in coordinating wildlife research in support of evidence-based policymaking.

He further noted that the ongoing establishment of the National Wildlife Database will support data storage and retrieval for informed decision-making.

Dr Andrew underscored the rich legacy of ZSL in conservation and their new strategic framework based on species protection, habitat recovery, training and capacity building, and creating change.

ZSL has been engaged in wildlife conservation programs in Kenya including the monitoring of wild dogs and cheetahs.

The two institutions are partnering in several projects including a planned international training for wildlife veterinary experts and a capacity-building program for Wildlife rangers.

In attendance were Deputy Director-Training Dr Roselyn Onyuro, Senior Principal Research Scientist Dr Francis Gakuya and Principal Research Scientist Dr Joseph Mukeka.

A silent revolution is taking place along the SGR route in Kajiado. Communities in Oloosirkon and Ngong, have chased away the SGR Chinese contractor from most of the sites... protesting rights abuse, destruction of property and lack of compensation for their land.

#deCOALonize @ErikSolheim
Keys points here:
- Kenya can do far better than coal, already a world leader on geothermal;
- Markets have moved, coal can't compete vs renewables;
- More & more investors, companies eyeing fossil fuel divestment!
