Kenyan authorities have begun relocating 15 Masai giraffes and approximately 150 common zebras from Manera Farm near Naivasha after environmental changes destroyed their living conditions. The Kenya Wildlife Service said rising lake levels and altered land management practices eliminated adequate grazing areas and drinking sources for the displaced animals. Veterinary specialists and capture teams are transporting the wildlife to protected zones where resources remain available.
The giraffes and zebras will settle in two locations: Nairobi National Park and the Naivasha Wildlife Sanctuary. Officials described both destinations as suitable environments where the relocated populations can flourish and support biodiversity conservation goals across the nation. The agency emphasized its ongoing responsibility to protect animal populations and preserve functioning ecosystems throughout the country.
