Operating on an area of more than fifty two thousand (52,000) acres of land between Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, Kasigau ranch is a crucial area in conservation and maintaining human wildlife co-existence.

From the 23 patrols areas covered in February by the ANAW supported wildlife guardians, the scouts were able to determine some of the areas that needed frequent patrols after observing a lot of human movements and activities in and out of the ranch. These movements were observed at Ndashinyi area, Mmangare, Mwarungu and Gae areas with indicators showing firewood harvesting and charcoal burning.

The Wildlife Guardians are in the meantime engaging sensitizing the communities bordering the Kasigau ranch, and other key conservation stakeholders to minimize the increased human activities that endanger the welfare of the wildlife utilizing the ranch.
