At least eighteen people have been killed in cases of human-wildlife conflict since the year began. The Kenya Wildlife Service reports that Chyulu, Voi, Lamu and Bura saw the highest number of such conflicts, some of which have been attributed to human encroachment on areas that were once wildlife corridors. Further, kws now says there shall be no compensation for the residents of Kitenegela who lost their livestock in a recent attack as it only compensates for human injuries and deaths.
