Kenya Forestry Service (KFS) has raised concern over the ongoing destruction of Arabuko Sokoke Forest.

KFS board chairman Peter Kinyua said existing laws were too weak to enforce protection and conservation measures. He warned that logging and other human activities could wipe out Arabuko's prized flora and fauna.
