The Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife has announced a public participation exercise across the country as part of the ongoing review of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act (CAP 376).
In a public notice, the State Department for Wildlife said the review aims to align the law with the Constitution of Kenya, particularly regarding the roles and responsibilities of national and county governments in wildlife management.
It also seeks to harmonize the Act with the National Wildlife Policy 2020, the National Wildlife Strategy 2030, and other relevant policy frameworks.
The exercise will help address emerging issues in the wildlife sector, reengineer conservation and management approaches, provide legal clarity, and enhance economic opportunities linked to wildlife resources.
The public participation exercise is scheduled to take place from May 7 to May 25, 2025, at designated venues in all 47 counties.
