Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Madam Rebecca Miano has held important discussions with government officials, including the Central Acting Regional Commissioner, Ronald Mwiwawi, in preparation for her upcoming working tour of Nyeri County.
In this visit, the CS and her team will engage with local residents, particularly in areas most affected by human-wildlife conflicts. This outreach is part of ongoing efforts to foster better coexistence between communities and wildlife in the region, which has long faced challenges such as crop destruction, livestock loss, and injury from wildlife encounters.
Cs Miano emphasized on Ministry’s commitment to finding sustainable solutions to human-wildlife conflicts, aiming to ensure that both communities and wildlife can thrive peacefully.
“Our engagement with residents in Nyeri County, especially those in conflict-prone areas, we will focus on improving coexistence and addressing the concerns of the people who live alongside wildlife,” She said.
This tour is part of the Ministry of Tourism
and Wildlife’s wider mission to enhance public awareness and support for wildlife conservation, while also prioritizing the welfare of those directly impacted by wildlife-related incidents.
