Over 1,300 cases of human-wildlife conflict have been reported in Kilifi County since 2021 as the government issued compensation to families in a move officials say aims to restore trust in conservation.

Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano presided over the payout on July 2, noting the compensation offers more than financial relief.
