Wildlife's in Danger as Drought in Kenya Drastically Causing Their Depopulation
The case of Increased drought has led to the decreased number of wildlife in Kenya. Thus expected to happen because human lives in the first place aren't in a scale of balance to life talk less of animals and plants. By names quite a large number of elephants,zebras, wildebeest in their hundreds have been on a constant decrease, adding to the fact that this is the longest case of drought in decades .
The Kenya Wildlife Service Rangers, Community Scouts, and Research Teams counted the deaths of 205 elephants, 512 wildebeests, 381 common zebras, 51 buffalos, 49 Grevy’s zebras, and 12 giraffes in the past nine months,” a report released Friday by the country’s Ministry of Tourism said.“The drought has negatively impacted on the herbivore populations and particularly wildebeest and zebra.source
The adverse weather condition ravaging globally has raised a much issue of concern on the survival of different species in this planet owing to the fact that the survival of any specie in this planet be it in form of plants, animals or human beings precisely is on the basis of having a favourable weather condition that support the activities done that prolong life and cause productive. Only in the absence of this will the case of living be in a caged and big quotation marks be raised.
Recording the worst part of this adverse weather condition particularly drought has raised much more erroneous concern to sustainability and survival raising a high bar of more than 18million person's forced to go on starvation in somalia, Ethopia and Kenya as a result of decrease food production and supply as per world report.
Raising much concern to the country of subject effect which is Kenya, there has been a recorded back to back below average rain for seasons which has instantly affected the maximal production of food stuffs, raw materials and farming processes that increases the chances of survival when it comes to food. The triggering factor to achieving all these being tied to the extent there is a ground wet to enhance production.
In an interview with the BBC in July, Kenya’s former cabinet secretary for wildlife and tourism Najib Balala said that climate change now kills 20 times as many elephants as poaching.source
If this should be the case, then it should be heard as a story of how there was a country in rich of wildlife and their preparation and sustainability that lost it all to drought and as such there won't be much of wildlife to reach to the nearest future. A deep thought of thinking and routing of means to enable the survival needed not just for wildlife but humans too.
