    "content": "wildlife occurs and further recognized as a form of land use on community, public and private lands. THAT further, the Wildlife Management and Conservation Act requires the government to undertake measures to facilitate community-based natural resources management practices in wildlife conservation and management. THAT the Community Land Act, 2016, provides for recognition, protection and facilitation of community land rights, including sound administration and management of community land, including environmental and natural resources management. THAT it is, therefore, imperative that the national Government and the county governments take deliberate measures, policy and financial, and set up the necessary legal regime to ensure that conservancies, landowners and communities involved in wildlife conservation and management are supported by both the National and county governments. THAT the conservancies are organized through a national umbrella body at the national level known as Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association, which is fully aware and supportive of the undersigned petition of its membership of 160 conservancies. THAT, we have made the best efforts to have these matters addressed by the relevant authorities, all of which have not borne fruit and have failed to give a satisfactory response. THAT none of the issues raised in this Petition are pending in any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. WHEREFORE your humble petitioners pray that the Senate works with the national Government to:- (1) Enumerate a fiscal policy, legislation and strategy for financial support for wildlife conservancies so as to promote the protection and conservation of the over 65 per cent of wildlife resources that are outside state protected areas; (2) Set up an incentives Scheme to encourage community participation in wildlife conservation and for securing identified critical wildlife migratory routes, corridors and dispersal areas for sustainable wildlife conservation and management; (3) Set up a national wildlife conservation fund to secure national and international resources to support conservation of wildlife in Kenya; and, (4) Approve the creation of a budget line within the county governments to enable counties promote the conservation of habitats and species as well as ensuring sustainable utilization of the environment and natural resources within respective counties. Your petitioners will ever pray. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
