Abstract Details

2004, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
Kenya’s conservation policies are based on strategies introduced during the colonial period and little has been done to make them consonant with contemporary conservation values. Protected areas, as the main instruments of conservation, are under increased pressure from human population growth. Competition for resources escalates human-wildlife conflicts. The human-elephant conflict is just a microcosm of larger, more complex issues facing protected areas. Kenya now must contend with feeding a growing human population while conserving wildlife. This study looks at the policy vacuums in wildlife conservation and offers recommendations. Data collection involved consultations with the key stakeholders in Kenyan wildlife conservation. Field observations were carried out at the Shimba Hills National Reserve. The findings reveal that human-elephant conflicts are a result of land use conflicts and that there is need for more consistent efforts in applying current policy and perhaps a need for a unified land-use policy throughout the country.
