Pastoralists and farmers who encroach and graze their domesticated animals in conservancies will not be compensated in the event of attacks by wild animals, a Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) official has warned.
But local residents say most attacks and killings or domestic animals occur in human settlement when wildlife strays from sanctuaries. They accuse KWS of ignoring this matter and concentrating on alleged encroachment by herders on sanctuaries.
