New Wildlife Policy for Kenya
1991-04-19T02:54:55-04:00https://ximage.c-spanvideo.org/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJwaWN0dXJlcy5jLXNwYW52aWRlby5vcmciLCJrZXkiOiJGaWxlc1wvMjdkXC8wMTc2MTQtbS5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsiZml0IjoiY292ZXIiLCJoZWlnaHQiOjUwNn19fQ==Dr. Leakey talked about wildlife preservation. He said that prior to
his appointment, certain animals, like the African elephant and the
white rhinoceros, were being poached almost to the point of
extinction. By killing and selling the ivory tusks of just one
elephant, a poacher could earn the nation’s average annual income.
Under his direction, during an eight month period in 1990, 26
elephants were killed, compared to the same period two years earlier
when more than 2,000 were killed. He said the country’s poverty has much to do with the possible extinction of species within Kenya.Dr. Leakey chose this NPC speech to announce his new proposals for
the protection of African elephants in Kenya and the punishment of
poachers. He prefaced these plans by saying, "There is no doubt that through the activities of our species, Homo sapiens, countless
numbers of living organisms are disappearing from the face of this
planet."
