The Ministry of Tourism & Wildlife, in conjunction with the Kenya Wildlife Service, Friday hosted 220 schoolchildren and the First Lady, Mama Rachel Ruto, for a morning game drive at Nairobi National Park.<\/p>\n
The children, selected from 16 counties, won various categories in the 2024 First Lady\u2019s Mazingira Awards (FLAMA).<\/p>\n
The goal of the game drive was to provide the children with firsthand experiences of Kenya\u2019s wildlife\u2019s beauty and recognise their contribution to our national climate action.<\/p>\n\n
The First Lady urged the learners to actively care for their environment and create a better future for themselves and our wildlife.<\/p>\n
Mama Rachel Ruto reiterated the role wildlife plays in our national heritage, making Kenya a unique travel destination.<\/p>\n
She expressed hope for Kenya to achieve its target of 5 million international travellers by 2027; a 100pc increase from the current 2.5 million recorded in 2023 and in addition to domestic tourists.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the same function, Rebecca Miano, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, confirmed the intent to work with children on Kenya\u2019s conservation agenda.<\/p>\n
The Ministry is eager to further engage with learners through the Wildlife Club of Kenya to facilitate early interaction with wildlife, thereby making them ambassadors for environmental restoration and care.<\/p>\n
