Game Park Reborn

More than 2000 animals were recently relocatedd from over stocked wildlife area around Kenya to Meru National Park in what has been called "The Greatest African Ungulate Translocation". Species such as the endagered Grevy's Zebra, common zebra, impala, kongoni(hartebeest) and Beisa oryx were relocated. The park, which became famous due to the work of the late Joy Adamson and was the setting for the 1966 movie "Born Free", suffered a down turn in the 1970s and early 1980s due to baditary and poaching. The Kenya Wildlife service, has now dedicated to focus its attention on the park. In addition to the wildlife relocation , massive support has been received from the French Development (AFD) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The focus is on providing four airstrips, more accomodation in the park, better raods and gates, more staff housing and community projects
