Looming danger for wildlife

The Nairobi National Park has an area of about 117 square kilometres. However, this is only the core area of an ecosystem consisting 2,000 square kilometres. The wider ecosystem spreads over 20,000 square kilometres and includes Nguruman, Amboseli and Tsavo national parks.

• The ever-expanding city now threatens to place the park that was previously in the outskirts right in the middle of the city.
