Dying Splendours of Kenya
Africa rich in minerals land and labor soon became the highest-ranking commodity desired by the monarchs of Europe.
Kenya beautiful in every aspect became home to some of the most widely known and iconic colonial figures of all time. From Dennis Finch Hatton and Colonel John Patterson the greatest of hunters to George and Joy Adamson who walked with Lions (the famous Elsa).
Kenya's scenic beauty is diverse and in no other country so small could one find such an array of different flora fauna and climates. The snow capped tips of Mount Kenya tower over us, the rugged bush that is Tsavo, Amboseli and Samburu remind us that untamed beauty is true beauty. The shores of the Indian Ocean warm, healing and uplifting and the walls of the Great Rift Valley have all been immortalized and branded in everyone who loves this country truly.
As history opened up Africa and industrialization put the world on a fast track society did not realize the repercussions of flagrantly abusing the natural resources and plundering Kenya's resources.
The vast deforestation fuelled by corruption, lust for wealth and pressures of the ever-growing population have led to large areas turning into semi deserts, flash floods and deaths are not uncommon. The gin toting times have the great white hunter and happy valley led to great decreases in the number of beautiful leopards and several other wildlife species. This is now only further hurt by the illegal game meat trade and the encroachment of human settlements on wildlife territory.
The effects of global warming are vivid in this great landscape as we see the permafrost of Kilmanjaro melt away and rainfall patterns changing annually the death of Mzima springs seems inevitable.
One major water catchment area down and one on the brink of falling if we are to loose the Abadares and Mount Kenya's ice caps the southern most point of the Sahara will shift downwards very fast.
Our heritage was bestowed upon us in a land that is home to us all let us appreciate it for it is to many the source of income brought by the millions of tourists who come every year and their money trickles down into many a pocket. Let us respect our land and nature for a desert is so desolate, barren and harsh.
Allow the splendors of Kenya to live, let the cats prowl, the herds travel, the monkeys swing and shoals swim. Plant a native species tree and save your environment to save this beautiful land we call home.
