Tsavo East National Park was on Wednesday up in flames yet again, days after a similar fire was put out by Kenya Wildlife Service. “The first one is in the Taita ranches adjacent to Tsavo East National Park,” the KWS corporate communications department said. The service said rangers, with the help of other stakeholders, were battling a second fire at the southern part of Tsavo West National park. In May, an out-of-control inferno destroyed 4,000 acres of Tsavo East National Park before it was finally put out. On Thursday, communities bordering Tsavo National Park in Taita Taveta county said they fear the fire outbreaks may lead to more human-wildlife conflicts.
