Weak from the drought, many camels are unable to put up a fight when facing an ambush. Camels, in particular, often travel alone, breaking away from the safety of the herd in search of water and pasture. Herders say the drought has made their livestock easy prey. “It creates a condition where it becomes inevitable that you’ll have this conflict.” “All these areas that were available during drought conditions for both livestock and wildlife to survive have largely been taken out of the system,” he says. “If we fail to mobilise and create some kind of stability between wildlife and people with their livestock, I predict both sides suffering a great loss,” says Yussuf Hassan, 28, the manager of the Gutale community conservancy, one of 160 wildlife-protected areas managed by local people.ĭickson Kaelo, chief executive of the umbrella group Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association, says human-wildlife conflict is the result of the conversion of traditional grazing spaces and wildlife habitats to agriculture and human settlements.

People in the drylands are losing their livestock to a lack of water and pasture, and wildlife attacks, while wild animals have been pushed out of their traditional habitats by dwindling prey, a lack of water, blocked migration corridors, deforestation and poaching. But Kenya’s severe drought and sixth failed rainy season has led to conflict and competition for resources between people and wildlife.Ī 2023 draft report by the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage and Kenya’s Wildlife Service, seen by the Guardian, said the number of negative incidents between communities and wildlife was at “national disaster levels”. The country’s pastoralist communities, who live mainly in northern drylands, have coexisted peacefully with wildlife for years.
