Picture: REUTERS/BAZ RATNERRhinos, lions, buffalo and leopards range against the background of a city skyline in the Nairobi National Park, Africa’s only game reserve within a capital city.Outside its unfenced southern boundary, the banks of the Mochiriri River are a favoured refuge for breeding lions. Animals often pass through to make their way to larger parks beyond.

The volunteer group is dedicated to helping the Kenya Wildlife Service keep the lands around the park open. The service’s director-general and spokesperson did not respond to requests to discuss the plan. The plan proposes fencing in land on the southern boundary if the owners are willing, or if they do not agree, to fence the park itself.
