Abstract:
AbstractThe Critically Endangered hirola Beatragus hunteri exists in two populations, a natural population on the Kenyan–Somali border and a translocated population in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya. The Tsavo population is becoming increasingly important for the survival of the hirola yet its status is unknown and little is understood about the factors that limit its growth. Here we report the size, distribution and demographic parameters of the Tsavo population of hirola and consider whether insufficient suitable habitat could be limiting its growth. The Tsavo population has not increased since 2000, when the last census was carried out, but neither has it significantly decreased. The importance of habitat as a limiting factor is dependent on the hirola's ability to utilize marginal habitat.

Abstract:This article examines debates about how to manage elephants in Kenya’s Tsavo National Park as a jumping off point for exploring the relationships among the local, national, and global constituencies that converged in the formulation of wildlife policy in Kenya during the 1950s and 1960s. Bridging the colonial and postcolonial years, the so-called Elephant Problem in Tsavo, while leveraging different international constituencies, pitted different administrative philosophies against one another and drew out different understandings of the application of ecological sciences in national parks. The result was a paralysis of policymaking which sparked an overhaul of the wildlife departments in the 1970s.

Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rapid growth in the field of colonial conservation history. However, there are still relatively few studies looking at how conservation policies were applied to individual protected areas. My research undertakes an exploration of some of the key themes in this conservation history through an analysis of the creation and development of Tsavo National Park in Kenya. My study of Tsavo builds on the growing literature examining the origins and evolutions of colonial wildlife policy, as well as attempting to integrate the political and social themes that are discussed in studies of natural resource management in the colonial period. I question the power of ideas of Eden and nostalgia in shaping the development of conservation thinking, arguing that Kenya’s political economy, as well as the perceptions of the European officials who managed Tsavo, played as important a role in shaping Tsavo into the park as it exists today. The research analyses the different ways in which the prevailing political climate allowed the space that became Tsavo to be appropriated for wildlife conservation, and how wildlife came to be seen as a vital part of Kenya’s post-war economy in much the same way as other natural resources. It also looks at how the park’s supporters adapted the narrative construction of the park to ensure its survival in a rapidly changing political, social and economic climate. I explore four themes in the study of the historical development of Tsavo. First, I examine how the Tsavo area was initially portrayed as economically useless and devoid of human use and settlement. I then look at how this early narrative was challenged in the climate of economic development and the ‘second colonial occupation’ after the Second World War. At this stage the part was pictured as a site for economic development, predominantly through tourism. The third theme I explore is Tsavo as African space, and how the previous two narratives were challenged by the presence and claims of Africans in the area who continued to make use of the park’s resources up to and beyond independence. Finally, I analyse Tsavo as an ecological space and consider how the park’s ecology impacted the political constructions of the park and how political events threatened the park’s ecology. Pragmatism, political acumen and fear drove the development of the narratives that guided Tsavo’s development throughout the 1940s and 1950s. The staff in Tsavo believed that they were fighting not only for survival of wildlife in Kenya, but for the survival of the very concept of national parks in the face of a myriad of competing demands on the land as well as Government indifference, African loathing and the petty power struggles of local officials.

Full text
Abstract:
The illegal bushmeat harvest has been identified as a reason for declining wildlife populations throughout much of Africa. For many years the trade was thought to exist primarily in Western Africa. The illegal use of bushmeat in Eastern Africa, including Kenya, went undocumented and unstudied. In 2004, the Born Free Foundation published a study which claimed illegal sale of wild game was substantial in butcheries throughout Nairobi, Kenya. In an effort to determine other markets of the commercial trade, the goal of this study was to analyze local restaurants in Voi, Kenya for illegal bushmeat sale. The town of Voi was selected due to recent published reports in the popular press, its proximity to Tsavo National Park, and its access to a major highway. Samples were collected and analyzed using mDNA sequencing analysis of the cytochrome B gene. None of the collected samples were identified as illegal game meat. The restaurants in Voi, Kenya were not a commercial outlet for illegal bushmeat trading in the local economy during the period of this study. The results from this study provide valuable baseline data which can be used in future research to help determine possible vectors of the bushmeat trade.

Abstract:
This study sought to determine the population size, density, distribution, habitat utilization and biomass of large herbivores in Hell's Gate National Park and two neighbouring ranches, Kedong and Kongoni. The study further determined primary production and wildlife grazing in the Park grassland, the effects of wildlife on the vegetation around the Park's artificial water troughs and the effects of Maasai livestock and geothermal prospecting on the Park vegetation. Herbivore counts were carried out in Hell's Gate National Park and the two neighbouring ranches between February 1990 and April 1992. Kongoni, zebra and Thomson's gazelle were found to be the most abundant species. The distribution pattern exhibited by the ungulates in the three areas was neither random or regular, and appeared to be influenced by both topography and vegetation type. Dry and wet season distribution patterns of the wildlife were similar. In the three study areas, most of the herbivores were found to prefer the grassland followed by relatively open shrubland. Areas of dense vegetation and rugged terrain were not preferred. Kongoni, zebra, eland and buffalo contributed the highest proportion of the herbivore biomass. They contributed 82% of the total herbivore biomass in the Park, 85% in Kedong Ranch and 82% in Kongoni Ranch. The herbivore biomass fluctuated monthly depending on population fluctuations, such that when there was a high count of the herbivores in a given month, there was a corresponding high biomass. Above-ground primary production and herbivore grazing were estimated in the Park grassland which was the main grazing area for most of the ungulates. There were two peaks of primary production which coincided with the occurence of the long and short rains, such that there was a significant linear regression between net primary production and rainfall. The monthly amount of dead and live grass biomass fluctuated in response to seasonal rainfall, such that during the dry season the amount of dead biomass increased while that of the live biomass decreased and vice versa during the wet season. There was a significant linear regression of live grass biomass on rainfall, but there was no significant correlation between rainfall and dead grass biomass. The annual productivity of the grassland was 720g/m2/yr, and the total annual offtake of the grass forage by the herbivores was 12.7%. Therefore, most of the grass forage dried up to form dead biomass which was probably of little food value to the wildlife. The effect of both wildlife trampling on the vegetation around three artificial water troughs and illegal livestock grazing on the Park vegetation (in the Narasha area) were studied between April 1990 and April 1992. Overall, vegetation cover between the trampled and untrampled areas of the water troughs did not show any significant difference. Trampling also did not lead to any overall difference in plant species composition, diversity and abundance between the trampled and untrampled areas. Livestock grazing at Narasha did not lead to a significant difference in percentage vegetation cover and mean species diversity between the grazed and ungrazed areas. Although some plant species were only found in either the grazed or ungrazed areas, overall, grazing appeared not to lead to a significant difference in plant species composition and abundance between the two areas. It was therefore concluded that livestock grazing was not altering the Park vegetation in any significant way. The long term future of the Hell's Gate ecosystem (the Park together with the surrounding ranches) as a self sustaining unit requires that its current ecological integrity be maintained. The human activities that are taking place within it, especially expansion of agriculture, will determine its future, and if not controlled will lead to loss of wildlife habitats and a decline in the population size of the various herbivore species found within it.

Abstract:
La propagation de l'activité humaine, le règlement et la fragmentation des terres menace les migrations de grands ongulés migrateurs en Afrique. La modélisation des migrations donne écologistes un outil pour construire des scénarios des menaces et des options de confinement. Cette étude propose un modèle mathématique spatialement explicite des migrations ongulés basé sur la répartition saisonnière de la quantité et de la qualité et des modèles allométriques de l'alimentation végétale. Nous étudions l'impact des couloirs bloqués sur les populations d'herbivores à l'aide d'un modèle mathématique spatiale qui décrit les mouvements et la dynamique des populations d'espèces sélectionnées qui comprennent des zèbres, gnous, buffles, éléphants et gazelles de Grant, selon la disponibilité des ressources. Méthodes d'agrégation sont utilisés pour réduire la complexité du modèle qui utilise des paramètres réels calibrés à partir de données à long terme recueillies dans la région depuis plus de trois décennies. Les résultats montrent que les couloirs de migration bloqués conduisent à l'exclusion compétitive où une seule espèce survit. Cependant, un éventuel mécanisme de maintien de la biodiversité dans la région pourrait être due à un échange d'animaux entre le parc et les écosystèmes environnants, lorsque les oscillations des espèces densités dans les écosystèmes sont déphasés par rapport à l'autre et à ceux dans le parc
The spread of human activity, settlement and land fragmentation threatens the migrations of large migratory ungulates in Africa. Modelling the migrations gives conservationists a tool for building scenarios of the threats and containment options. This study proposes a spatially explicit mathematical model of ungulate migrations based on the seasonal distribution of vegetation quantity and quality and allometric models of diet. We study the impact of blocked corridors on herbivore populations using a spatial mathematical model that describes the movements and population dynamics of selected species that include zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and Grant's gazelle based on resource availability. Aggregation methods are used to reduce the complexity of the model which uses actual parameters calibrated from long term data collected in the area for over three decades. The results show that blocked migration corridors lead to competitive exclusion where only one species survives. However, a possible mechanism of maintenance of biodiversity in the area could be due to an exchange of animals between the park and surrounding ecosystems, when the oscillations of species densities in the ecosystems are out of phase compared to each other and to those within the park

Abstract:
Wildlife-based tourism, which is Kenya’s second largest economic sector, is threatened by the risk of extinction of many wildlife species in the country. The endemic roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus langheldi) now only survives in Ruma National Park (RNP) where its population has been declining continuously since 1976. This thesis investigates the roan’s habitat use and selection, causes of population decline and population viability in RNP with the aim of recommending scientifically-based management interventions for population recovery and sustainable conservation. Roan movement patterns and habitat use were investigated using 4 home range estimation techniques. Habitat selection was studied at multi-spatial scales using compositional analysis, logistic regression, and information-theoretic (IT) and multi-model inference (MMI) techniques. Data for this study consisted of population estimates for roans and other grazers, Landsat images, soil maps, digital terrain data, rainfall records, snare distribution records, and roan ground tracking data. Identification of causes of population decline was carried out using both multivariate and univariate techniques. A generic population viability analysis (PVA) package was used to (i) estimate the likelihood of roan extinction under various management options; and (2) rank the management alternatives for roan population recovery. All 4 home range estimators are useful in characterizing different aspects of the roan home range, but overall the local convex hull method produced the most realistic home ranges. The three habitat selection methods yielded similar results but the IT techniques demonstrated superior qualities as they identified important habitat variables and produced the most accurate model predictions. MMI averaged models coupled with GIS data developed very informative habitat suitability and poaching risk maps. Analysis of habitat selection indicated different usage in seasons and spatial scales depending on water availability, habitat composition and burned status, and distribution of eco-geographical features. High adult mortality due to poaching with snares was identified as the main cause of roan population decline. Other important factors included habitat change and rainfall variability with its associated droughts and floods. PVA showed that under the current conditions, the roan population cannot persist more than 3 decades. Several anti-poaching and prioritized management interventions to curb poaching and promote population recovery are described.

The framework was tested at Lake Nakuru National Park (LNNP) in Kenya. Attractiveness was categorized into four dimensions that included wildlife resources, park accessibility, cost of attractions and park image. As the findings indicated, there was direct positive effect of all four dimensions. A relatively low effect was recorded with regard to park image, which is likely to have contributed to low satisfaction experience, future behavioural intentions and park ecological value. In addition, among the repeat visitors' responses, the majority agreed there was increased wildlife disappearance, increased difficulty in sightseeing key wildlife attractions at LNNP, invasive new species within the park, changes in wildlife grazing grounds, infrastructure damage and increased visibility of litter inside the park.

Abstract In its native range the dwarf or broad-fronted crocodile (the nominate form reaches about 1.7 m in length and 0. t. osborni 1.2 m), which is classified by the IUCN (the World Conservation Union) as vulnerable, inhabits small rivers and shallow tributaries of large rivers and pools in the central African forest, venturing into the savannah along well-shaded rivers. It does not occur in large rivers occupied by themuch bigger (up to 6 m long) Nile crocodile Dwarf crocodiles (of which subspecies is not recorded) were apparently shipped from Madagascar (to which they had been previously introduced at an unknown date, and where their current status, if they survive there, is not known) to Kenya in the 1930s by the British explorer Ewart Grogan, who released them in Lake Challa on his 25000 sq km estate south of Nairobi. (This introduction is not mentioned by Spawls et al. 2002.) In Lake Challa, which straddles the Kenya/Tanzania border between Tsavo West National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro, the crocodiles are said to have thrived and multiplied for the next 60 years until, in the early 1990s, local subsistence fishermen, whose nets they were contin ually destroying, began a programme of eradication. It was generally believed that the fishermen had been successful and that the crocodiles in Lake Challa had died out, until in March 2002 a British tourist was killed by one while swimming in the lake (A. Blomfield, personal communication 2002).

Abstract:
Nairobi, famous for Nairobi National Park, the world’s only game reserve found within a major city, started developing as a rail depot on the Uganda Railway. In 1963, Nairobi became the capital of the Republic of Kenya and showed phenomenal growth in terms of population ever since (from 11,500 in the year of 1906, to 3,138,369 by Year 2009, at growth rate of 4.1% a year). The city of Nairobi has experienced rapid urban sprawl. In 1970, average commuter distance was 0.8 km and increased to 25 km in 1998. Present commuter distance is over 40 km. The long commuter distances and heavy traffic congestion on the road has led to long travel time. At this rate, the difficulties commuting to the central business area is getting more and more complicated. The need of the hour is developing a world-class transport network, a combination of Road and Rail Based Mass Rapid Transit System (hereinafter mentioned as MRTS or MRT) technology. A comprehensive study was carried out in this direction to find out the feasibility of such MRTS in early 2000s. Based on the findings of the study, further study was conducted in 2013-2014 for developing the basis for a technical and financial harmonisation of measures. In 2019, the NMA Council gazetted 5 BRT and 7 Commuter Rail corridors vide Legal Notice No. 16 of 26th February 2019, which is outcome of all the efforts. This paper aims to put together the outcome of studies made so far.
