Litter isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a threat to wildlife and the environment.
The KWS vet team recently rescued a zebra at Mount Elgon National Park that had somehow gotten a slipper stuck around its leg.
It wasn't just an odd sight, it was doing real damage, cutting into the skin and affecting how the zebra could move.
The good news? Our team swiftly stepped in, safely removed it, and the zebra is now recovering well.
The not-so-good news? This is more common than you'd think. Litter; flip-flops, plastic, rope, and wire doesn't just sit around looking messy. Wild animals walk through it, get tangled in it, and it can even become life-threatening if it's not spotted in time.
So here's the ask: Next time you see litter, do your part; pick it up where you can and dispose of it properly.
Small actions. Big difference.

Welcome home, Champion! 🥇
Faith Cherotich returns home not just as a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, but as the new Commonwealth Games record holder after a breathtaking 9:01.76 in Glasgow.
In one race, she erased the previous Games record of 9:15.68, set by Jackline Chepkoech at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and etched her name into history.
A champion's welcome for a record breaker. Welcome home, Faith! 🇰🇪❤️

5. Are we making cross-border African travel easier—or are we still creating unnecessary barriers?
The answers to these questions will determine whether domestic and regional tourism become a strategic pillar of Africa's tourism future—or remain an afterthought.

1. Are our tourism products genuinely designed with local and regional travellers in mind?

Every time tourism in Africa faces a crisis we ask: "How do we recover international arrivals?"
But
Here are five important questions we should be asking if we're serious about building a resilient African tourism industry. – at Kabete, Kenya

KWS is currently engaging communities through conservation education to raise awareness on the dangers of bushmeat and inspire collective action to protect Kenya's wildlife.
Our recent outreach in Ngong, Suswa, and Naivasha brought together communities to discuss coexistence with wildlife, the impacts of bushmeat, and our shared responsibility to protect Kenya's rich biodiversity.
KWS remains committed to working with communities to address human-wildlife conflict and urges the public to report wildlife incidents or wildlife crimes through the 24-hour toll-free line 0800 597 000 or the nearest KWS office. Together, we can safeguard wildlife for future generations.
Karibu, Tutunze Pamoja!

Strength isn't about carrying every burden alone.
Even the strongest can face silent battles.
Speaking up and seeking support are signs of courage, not weakness.
Let's create a culture where men feel safe to talk and prioritise their mental well-being.
Because strong minds build stronger lives.
