Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 9th, 2013, the Chinese government donated equipment including 3 pickup vehicles, 20 outdoor GPRS, 20 binoculars, 50 flashlights, and 20 video cameras to fight poaching in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. The equipment was worth over 80 million KSh. The equipment was handed over by Sun Zhengcai, member of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of Chongqing City to Samuel Ole Tunai, county governor. The donations will protect wildlife and, by proxy, a part of the tourism industry, which promotes development in Kenya.
