At the end of November 2015 a article was released in the
newspaper in Kenya showing a map of the railway passing through
the Nairobi National Park. This article created a lot of noise and
uncertainty and that is when I decided that I would join the fight to
save the Nairobi National Park from the government and the
railway. I know for a fact that many Kenyans are oblivious to the
benefits of this park and therefore I decided to start focusing on
pictures of wild animals with the city backdrop, in order to show
them the true beauty of the gem of Nairobi. No capital city in the
world apart from Nairobi has a National Park in the city. This photo
should show that wildlife and man can coexist and no need to
destroy it for development.
