Pippa,

This is my point, too - I'm very afraid of Kenya becoming another South Africa, in terms of 'wildlife management', and some will disagree, but I applaud KWS on their 'anti-hunting' stance; although I would like to see more of their revenue put directly into anti-poaching patrols and community-based eco-tourism projects. Perhaps the rise in costs for park / reserve entry should allow tourists a say in how their dollars are spent? If enforced properly, I would think the parks would see more tourists and less poachers?

Anti-poaching units should be paid by the Massai who get millions of dollars from their conservancy fees. If there is no wildlife left then they certainly must find another source of income because tourism will decline/disappear.
Also the park fees should be sufficient to pay both KWS personnall as well as anti-poaching units.

Regarding hunting:

I know that the guys surrounding Calvin Cottar are putting a lot of pressure onto the government in order reach one goal: allowing trophy hunting in Kenya again! Calvin frankly states that he considers it a necessity to execute hunting as a conservation tool!

I know for certain IF hunting is going to be allowed I won't travel to Kenya anymore!

The Kenyans themselves MUST be prepared to fight against any hunting in their country!
