In a daring rescue operation, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Nairobi team successfully captured and relocated a stray hyena that ventured into the National Police Service ‘A’ campus in Embakasi. The unexpected visitor caused a stir among the local community, prompting a swift response from wildlife authorities.
Responding to a distress call from the National Police Service, the KWS Nairobi team sprang into action, utilizing their expertise in wildlife management and conservation. With meticulous planning and careful execution, they managed to safely capture the hyena, ensuring the safety of both the animal and the surrounding community.
The captured hyena was promptly relocated to Nairobi National Park, its natural habitat, where it can roam freely and thrive without posing any risk to nearby human settlements. This successful operation underscores KWS’s commitment to fostering peaceful coexistence between wildlife and communities.
Dr. Erustus Kanga, the Director General of KWS, lauded the efforts of the Nairobi team, praising their dedication and skill in handling such delicate situations. Under his leadership, KWS continues to uphold its mandate of protecting Kenya’s rich biodiversity while promoting harmony between humans and wildlife.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive wildlife management and community engagement in mitigating human-wildlife conflicts.
