Poaching drops by 53 percent in Northern Kenya

NAIROBI, KENYA: Elephant poaching has reduced by a significant 53 per cent in northern Kenya, a study by Northern Range-lands Trust (NRT) as revealed.

This has been associated with increased community awareness on the importance of wildlife and the tough anti-poaching laws which came into effect in June which spells a fine of not less than 20 million for poachers.
