Residents and conservationists in Trans Nzoia County are urgently calling for legislative reforms to address the increasing human-wildlife conflict and environmental degradation.

They advocate for comprehensive amendments to the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act through the proposed Wildlife Bill 2025, arguing that the current legislation is outdated and inadequate in protecting vulnerable communities living near wildlife habitats.
