the common man would increase hugely.”Living expenses would also increase,support us and lets stop this destruction of our forest.

Details, Impact and Progress

At this time of year thousands of tourists from around the world visit the famous Masai Mara National Reserve to watch the antelope ‘migration’ as millions of wildebeest make their annual charge northwards in search of grazing pastures.

If this does not stop the forest will be decimated ,based near Narok in the southern Rift Valley. The problem is that this dwindling montane forest keeps Kenya alive acting as a huge water tower feeding a dozen rivers and five lakes.
