🌟 Thread: Let's Talk Conservation & Community 🌍🦓 #KenyaWildlife The KWS Conservation Fees

@WinnieCheche @NyikaSilika @VickiWangui @EnviroWild Unfortunately it has to be that way, KWS has too many parks with very little to no revenue streams. They rely on only about 4 or 5 parks really, Nairobi, Nakuru, Amboseli and the Tsavos to basically support everything else. Revenue is a big problem.

@Tsavo_lover @NyikaSilika @VickiWangui @EnviroWild The price hike doesn't have to be too high in a way that locks more people out from exploring them. As much as we are after collecting the revenue, we need Kenyans being able to enjoy and view wildlife as their heritage and not just a thing for the few.

@WinnieCheche @NyikaSilika @VickiWangui @EnviroWild That has been considered and didn't work. Kenyans just don't visit parks, for many reasons, as much as people imagine. Out of NNP there are parks with entry as low as 300 bob that barely post any revenue. That the current pricing meant increased local traffic is a myth.
