Kenya: The Chairman of the board, Philip Murgor, and the CEO of WildliDirect Dr Paula Kahumbu, would like to thank His Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta for the appointment of Dr Richard Leakey as the new Chairman of the Kenya Wildlife Service.

This will be the third time that Dr Leakey joins the Kenya Wildlife Service. He was first appointed to head KWS in 1989 by the then President Daniel Arap Moi, in response to an international outcry over the poaching of elephants and the impact it was having on the wildlife in Kenya.
