Kenya is going all-in to save its wildlife! 🇰🇪 The government has allocated a whopping 250 million shillings (about $1.86 million USD) for the 2024 wildlife census. 🐘🦒🐆
On Friday, Patrick Omondi, the CEO and director of the state-owned Wildlife Research and Training Institute, shared the exciting news with journalists in Nairobi. The census aims to gather accurate data on all aquatic and land-based wildlife species across the country.
\"We have begun preparations for conducting the 2024 wildlife census, which will be the second national-scale census since 2021,\" Omondi announced during the inception meeting for this pivotal initiative. 🌍📊
The exercise is set to wrap up by June 2025, and it's all about ensuring that Kenya's amazing wildlife continues to thrive. Can't wait to see the positive impact this will have on conservation efforts! 🙌
