Development shouldn't be at expense of nature

There’s a stretch of land on my route that runs for about 500m. It’s adjacent to Ngong Forest and has been unoccupied for decades (shhh, don’t tell you know who). Anyway, I knew it was a government parcel but wasn’t sure which department had managed to keep it ungrabbed for years. Recently, it’s been claimed by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). KFS began operations in 2017 with the mandate to “provide for the development and sustainable management, including conservation and rational utilisation of all forest resources for the socio-economic development of the country and for connected purposes”.
