More than 500 people in Trans Nzoia County took part in a 12 kilometres Saiwa Safari Walk on Sunday in an advocacy mission to sensitize the public on the need to conserve the environment.

Led by Senior Assistant Director of the Western Conservation Area Catherine Wambani, the team focused on the Saiwa wetlands ecosystem, a habitat for the endangered Sitatunga antelope species.
