The Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK) has proposed mapping and zoning the Nairobi National Park in a bid to prevent the dissolution of the Park.
The institution proposed this after the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli said that the Park should be dissolved to pave the way for other infrastructural developments.
In a statement on Tuesday, June 24, ISK spotlighted that zoning of such establishments will be fundamental in promoting orderly development, without compromising vital environmental segments of the city.
Acknowledging the vital role the Park has played in projecting Kenya as a tourism-rich country on the global stage, the surveyors said that the government should also enforce sustainable land use principles in line with Sustainable Development Goal 15, which calls for the preservation and sustainable use of forests and biodiversity.
