Did you know that bushmeat consumption exposes people to dangerous zoonotic diseases that can threaten human life and public health? Beyond the health risks, the illegal bushmeat trade destroys Kenya’s rich wildlife heritage, undermines conservation efforts, and negatively impacts wildlife tourism that supports many livelihoods.
The awareness campaign continues to gain momentum as communities come together to support wildlife conservation and promote safer, healthier livelihoods. Through public engagement and education, Kenya Wildlife Service is raising awareness on the dangers of bushmeat consumption and the importance of protecting wildlife for present and future generations.
We appreciate all communities that have turned up in large numbers to support this important initiative. Together, we can end illegal wildlife trade, safeguard our biodiversity, and protect our ecosystems for the benefit of all.
Karibu, Tutunze Pamoja!
