This is very good news that demonstrates the effect of public engagement on Nairobi park plan organized by @ConservationKen @fonnap & others which led to change on the plan. It’s vital that stakeholders & general public engage on these matters. Asante @tunajibu lets #SaveNNP

The killing of the worlds only white giraffe & her foal shd be National & Global headlines!This slaughter reflects how little we treasure our unique heritage, & how much work we need to do to educate our people & government abt the importance of wildlife https://t.co/Pa4pRviCnh

[Paula Kahumbu @paulakahumbu]

Kenya’s report to Convention on Biodiversity under @unepwcmc confirms that biodiversity is fundamental 2 prosperity. But it is under threat -we need concerted focused actions, or we are likely to lose unique species.

.@NationBreaking If Hells Gate National Park is degraded (thx to KENGEN) & wildlife threatened then the appropriate response is to restore it, or, return it to the original owners. It is NOT appropriate to degrade it further with #KorogaFestival and @OfficialWRC EA Ralky

[Paula Kahumbu @paulakahumbu]

.@unepwcmc First Koroga Festival in Hell’s Gate National Park. Now t/ EA Safari Rally is routed through the park https://t.co/Z6OaNtzTto This is short sighted and is setting a very bad precedent for the future of Kenya’s protected areas. Those responsible shd step down now RT

[Paula Kahumbu @paulakahumbu]

.@CapitalFMKenya Is holding @KorogaFestival inside Hells Gate Park which threatens the only protected colony of critically endangered Ruppells Vulture, 15,000 ppl & a lot of noise expected. Slow breeding Vultures could abandon their nests. Should @kwskenya Pls RT

[WildlifeDirect @wildlifedirect]

Elephant & rhino poaching in Kenya are now at the lowest levels in decades as judges & prosecutors have so much information & are committed to championing #wildlife conservation thanks to the hard work & support from our legal team. #EyesInTheCourtroom https://t.co/hbxuhslEjC

Forests have so many benefits to the human health. Its important to take a walk in the forest once in a while. For these kids it was their first time surrounded by all this nature, their excitement was unimaginable! #wanakesho #greenjeneration #karuraforest #everydayeducation

[Wanjira Mathai @MathaiWanjira]

Amazing what the #Greenjeneration can achieve. One of the parents in the school asked me where they can plant in Kibera since there is so little space.. until he saw the beautiful and innovative hanging baskets the kids at Oasis produced #yesyoucan! Thank you @WangariMaathai

As we mark #WorldGiraffeDay today, can you ace our morning trivia? 🤔

1. How many giraffe species do we have in Kenya and can you name them?
2. What are the 'horns' of a giraffe called and of what use are they?
