What you need to know:
This follows the success of the Mt Kenya Elephant Corridor that includes an underpass connecting a 28-kilometre traditional migratory path between Laikipia and Samburu.
The corridor cutting through the Meru-Nanyuki road, Kisima and Marania farms has re-established the connection between Kenya’s second largest elephant population.
As Kenya marks the World Elephant Day today, conservationists are calling for protection of wildlife corridors and dispersal areas to reduce conflicts.
Conservationists say designing of the country’s infrastructure and development projects should be done with wildlife conservation in mind.
