    "content": "FURTHER NOTING that there is need to create a conducive environment for peaceful coexistence of human and wildlife in the same space given the importance of wildlife, not only to our economy, but ecology as well; CONCERNED that victims of human-wildlife conflict and their families are not compensated for loss of lives, their being maimed or loss of means of livelihoods due to failure of the National Treasury to allocate adequate funds for this purpose, contrary to the Wildlife Compensation Management Act; FURTHER CONCERNED that the regions and communities hosting the wildlife are marginalized and do not benefit from the proceeds of wildlife tourism in their area; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate calls upon the national Government to- (a) allocate adequate funds during the current financial year and subsequent years for compensation. (b) ensure that victims and families of victims of human-wildlife conflict are always compensated within 90 days of submitting their claims; and; (c) come up with innovative ways of ensuring host communities benefit from the revenue accruing from wildlife tourism. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
