I am the grand daughter of the founder of Kenya and East Africa’s vast system of national parks created against a tide of fashionable profitable hunting, by tireless lobbying with his great friend Charles Njonjo. Recognizing the beauty “ the gold “ visual tourism bequeathed by the vast beauty and leopards eyes of emeralds to the giraffe that he wrote of as dancing triumphantly on the horizon when Kenya’s Nairobi National Park was created. A heritage for the children of Kenya he hoped would access tourism funds to become expert vets and ecologists and even now biohackers (CRISPR). What are leaders doing to our gold which he laid legacy for in several books wanting to fence in partnership with international parks in exchange for foreign currency to build educational facilities - he correctly predicted human wildlife conflict yet dreamed of education for Kenya’s children and glory to Rangers and well managed eco systems as shared world responsibility’s. So my problem is when leaders run corruption on our heritage when they feel the children’s heritage and animals that are dwindling belong to the rich for golf course additions. Three waterbuck died in transit in transit perhaps they were old as is claimed why remove old to die in hot coastal climates I saw the transport vehicle and was surprised at how little space there was. One male went into their huge plastic lined dam at Vipingo golf course to rescue three females and so exhausted himself scrambling in the plastic he died. The drains that line hand laid roads are vast and wide oft killing hedgehogs now there are rumors of the heritage of Kenya falling into them because viping golf is a golf course designed for humans certainly as proven in a few weeks not a sanctuary like those designated as National Parks. And now the goal is to have giraffe which are beautiful babies slowly slipping and with your help by signing this not into drains of golf course fun for the rich but slowly sadly onto the endangered list.
Please let’s petition those involved who are senior yes but responsible therefore to stop and think of other toys and return these animals to true sanctuary our National Parks.
Asante
We the undersigned call on the IUCN Director General and The Director of Kenya Wildlife Services to call for a protection order on the giraffe and for the latter to be immediately granted on behalf of the Kenyan people by The Director Kenya Wildlife services, further to set a precedent by removing all waterbuck and game from a golf course to the sanctuary’s of National Game Parks free from unsuitable hazards immediately.
