  • KWS is spending Sh7 million every month in the fight against poaching and illegal grazing in the parks

The Kenya Wildlife Service has established several security outposts in and outside national parks to scale up the fight against poaching in Taita Taveta.

Tsavo Conservation Area acting assistant director Michael Wanjau said KWS has put up fully-fledged security units in ranches, which had turned out to be the target of illegal grazers who also engage in poaching.
