The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has defended the controversial Nairobi National Park development, insisting the planned relocation and expansion of the Nairobi Animal Orphanage is a necessary conservation intervention and not a land grab.
In a response to growing public criticism, KWS said the project is aimed at addressing mounting pressure on the country’s wildlife rescue and rehabilitation system, which has seen a surge in injured, orphaned and confiscated animals.
“The upgraded orphanage is a KWS-managed conservation and animal-welfare facility,” said KWS.
