Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano says victims of human-wildlife conflicts will now be compensated in three months, after filing a formal complaint.
The CS made the sentiments during this year's World Wildlife Day celebrations in Baringo County on Monday, March 3.
The theme of this year's celebration is 'Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet' CS Miano says the intervention is part of the state's efforts in ensuring a peaceful co-existence between the people and wildlife. "The government has thus far up-scaled efforts in compensating humanwildlife conflict victims in a fair and timely manner supported by a more efficient digital system.
Baringo is among the pilot counties where victims can now receive compensation within 90 days of lodging their claims," CS Miano says. "These interventions are a crucial step toward fostering coexistence between people and wildlife while ensuring sustainable conservation practices.
