NAIROBI, Sept 1 — Kenya’s black rhinos, sable antelope and three other species are critically endangered, while nine more species including lions, elephants and cheetahs are endangered, the government said, citing the threat from an expanding human population.
Human activities such as farming and construction of roads and railways have affected the distribution of animals in some areas, the government said. Some of Kenya’s most vulnerable animals, including rhinos and elephants, are counted periodically but the recent census was the first time it counted animals systematically in all parts of the country.
Tourism accounted for 8.2 per cent of Kenya’s GDP in 2019, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, much of it from visits to nature parks, but has fallen drastically during the Covid-19 pandemic.
