Due to the current drought situations in Kenya, most of protected areas are currently under siege by cattle & livestock bringing in a clear conflict of interest between conservationist and pastoralists.
In Ngong forest, large herds of cattle are continuously witnessed grazing inside and at the edges of the forest
Have a look at this: 
A recent manyatta established in an immediate ground opposite our main gate ( this ground is not part of the forest)
Its business time as they sell the dung to farmers
and whats worse, the family continue to increase, everyday a different group joins them.
If you happen to ask them, they have got permit to temporarily settle there!
how can we help each other? though we have a controlled grazing system , the current herd is unsustainable , what about the drought?
At least one thing we are sure of, by conserving our forest will have a better effect not only now but also to our upcoming generation.
