Court Halts Car Park Construction at Nairobi Animal Orphanage
Construction blocked due to environmental concerns
A court has stopped the construction of a car park inside the Nairobi Animal Orphanage. The Environment and Land Court issued the order to prevent destruction of parts of Nairobi National Park.
The case was filed by over 4,600 Kenyans who argue that the proposed car park and other developments threaten wildlife habitats and lack required approvals.
Background
- The Kenya Wildlife Service plans to relocate the orphanage and redevelop Bomas of Kenya.
- Environmentalists are concerned about the impact on protected parkland and conservation zones.
