Kenya launches East, Central Africa elephant walk to boost wildlife conservation
Kenya on Saturday launched the East and Central Africa Elephant Walk to boost wildlife conservation in the region.
Peninah Malonza, cabinet secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage, told journalists in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi that the walk will involve environmentalists from the Elephant Neighbors Center who will transverse Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and cover about 3,000 km over a period of 130 days.
"The walk is a renewed campaign against elephant and other endangered species poaching and trafficking," Malonza said.
