    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. 67 to 70 per cent of Kenya’s wildlife lives outside of Government protected areas. As much as we have KWS and other Government protected areas including the national parks and reserves in our country, most of the animals live outside with the communities. The first threat to wildlife is population and agricultural growth. As we talk about KWS compensating families of those who have lost their loved ones and also protecting wildlife, let us also look at wildlife as our responsibility as leaders. This is because these animals do not have anybody else. These are the last species on earth. They are not just of significance to Kenya only; they are of national and global significance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they say that in about 20 years, lions will disappear. It will be such a shame for them to disappear under our watch as leaders because of our narrow definition of conservation. We think that it is about Government’s protection. This is why we have been asking, as conservationists, the Government to look at community The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
