KENYA. NOTIFICATIONS

KENYA. The vast majority of Kenya’s Grey Crowned Cranes are found on private, government or communally owned land. Small populations though are found in Amboseli National Park, Masai Mara National Park, Naivasha National Park and Saiwa Swamp National Park and are all afforded high levels of protection. A number of Important Bird Areas are home to Grey Crowned Cranes, but levels of protection are low and management is dependent on the communities involved and the support that they receive.

KENYA. In Kenya, the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act (2013) broadly provides for the protection of vulnerable ecosystems along the coastal zone through MPAs managed by KWS. This act focuses on terrestrial wildlife resources, and a specific act for marine living resources may enhance the effectiveness of KWS activities on the coast (Samloilys et al., 2015). In Kenya, (in direct contrast with Tanzania) Marine Reserves are larger, with resident communities, and allow multiple uses, although a zonation system is used including core zones, specified use zones, general use zones, and a buffer zone. Marine Parks are smaller and are no take zones. In the past, the government of Kenya tended to choose coral reefs to gazette as parks because of their aesthetic appeal and rich biodiversity. Later the government introduced marine reserves that were larger than the parks and encompassed neighbouring seagrass beds and mangrove forests. The reserves provide a more balanced ecosystem-based approach to marine conservation and management (Samoilys and Obura, 2011). More recently, a network of community conservation areas (Maina et al., 2011) has been established in and adjacent to the marine reserves. Unlike the parks, the reserves allow carefully managed fishing by local communities. Figure 5 shows the three Kenyan Marine Protected Areas in the proposed TBCA. These are from the north to south: Diani Chale Marine Reserve; Mpunguti Marine Reserve; and Kisite Marine Park. Although Diani-Chale Marine Reserve was proclaimed in 1995, it has not yet served it’s intended function due to difficulties with obtaining community support for the initiative. The proposed TBCA provides the opportunity to revitalise the functioning of this Reserve through direct intervention in awareness raising and the establishment of a management presence in the area. The Kisite Mpunguti MPA was established to enhance biodiversity conservation through a participatory approach; to provide suitable breeding and feeding habitats for marine organisms; and to promote sustainable nature tourism. The area was selected due to it’s pristine coral reefs; scenic setting and beauty; potential for nature tourism, recreation and relaxation; protection of spawning grounds; importance as breeding habitat for birds and coconut crabs; rare combination of terrestrial (islands) and marine life, and it’s potential as a conservation and research centre. Kisite Mpunguti is managed from a Park Headquarters and associated per...

KENYA. The constitution of Kenya 2010 reinforces the importance of natural resources and the environment. Chapter 5, Environment and Natural Resources, contains principles and obligations on the environment; protection and conservation of the environment; enforcement of environmental rights; the use and development of natural resources; agreements relating to natural resources; and environmental legislation. The constitution also provides for the establishment of an environment and land court to address legal disputes related to environmental and land resources and processes. Kenya’s newly devolved system of government calls for collaboration between national and county administrations. The central government has jurisdiction over the use of international waters and water resources, marine navigation, and the protection of the environment and natural resources including fishing and water. The county government is responsible for fisheries and implementing national policies. Legislation relevant to the marine environment is substantive (nearly 50 pieces of legislation) but confusing. The framework involves at least 14 government ministries and a further 9 authorities. Duplication, omission and poor implementation dilute regulatory effectiveness. The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2000) harmonizes the fragmented and multiple laws on the environment across different sectors. However, its marine and coastal aspects are rarely referred to. It is likely that few coastal people are aware of its existence. Co-management with communities has also become the norm in many of the newer policies and regulations although few communities are aware of their rights (Samoilys et al., 2011c). The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) (1999) provides the legal and institutional framework for managing and protecting Kenya’s environment. It is being reviewed to align it to the 2010 constitution. Moreover, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), KWS, and National Museums of Kenya also have jurisdiction over mangroves, which leads to confusion in enforcement and management (Samoilys et al., 2011c). The EMCA can declare any area of the sea to be a protected coastal zone. The National Environment Council, established by Section 4(1) of the EMCA, undertakes policy formulation and provides direction for the purposes of the EMCA. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) was established under the act to implement policy. It became operational in 2002. Secti...

KENYA. The devastating economic and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been equitably distributed globally. Rather, many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic induced economic and health downturns (USGLC, 2021). In several LMICs, economic strife has resulted in major food system disruptions. While many OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries have acted to protect their food infrastructures through measures such as market regulation and emergency food distribution programs, most LMIC governments have lacked the resources to follow suit. Kenya and India are representative of the latter situation and to appropriately understand the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on their food and nutrition systems, it is necessary to first understand the regions’ COVID-19 profiles. In March 2020 when the SARS-CoV-2 virus reached East Africa, Kenya’s government took swift action to reduce and contain its spread. Since that time, the country has experienced several waves in confirmed infection cases, but statistics indicate that the rapid and stringent responses have been beneficial. Overall, the country has consistently remained in the low to middle ground globally for confirmed cases and deaths when compared to all other countries for which data is available. As of early January 2022, Kenya has documented 306,686 confirmed cases and 5,411 deaths cumulatively. The case fatality rate, the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases, currently sits at 1.8% (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2021). Data also shows that Kenya has so far experienced four waves of infection and is currently undergoing a fifth. The newest surge is attributable to the highly transmissible Omicron variant in conjunction with low vaccination levels, the recent holiday season, and loosening of lockdown restrictions in recent months (▇▇▇▇▇ and Moyo, 2021). The first case of COVID-19 was confirmed by the Kenyan Ministry of Health in Nairobi on March 12, 2020. Three days later, President ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ announced the first set of lockdown measures calling for suspended travel into Kenya from countries with reported cases. While Kenyan citizens and residents with valid documentation were still allowed to enter the country, they had to adhere to a 24-day self-quarantine upon arrival. Additional lockdown procedures implemented at this time included suspension of large public gatherings and complete closures of all l...
