⁠

@kwskenya protect Nairobi National Park! Luxury development would threaten animals including the endangered black rhino and cut off the Maasai from their traditional livelihood. #magicalkenya #SaveNNP⁠

⁠

@kwskenya the Maasai gave over the land for Nairobi National Park for conservation not for development! #magicalkenya #SaveNNP⁠

⁠

Nairobi National Park is the oldest park in East and Central Africa but a planned luxury hotel along with a spa would threaten its existence. #magicalkenya #SaveNNP⁠

⁠

@tunajibu Nairobi National Park is on its knees! Stand up for the Maasai environmental stewards and stop the luxury hotel, spa, and retirement home in the middle of the park! #SaveNNP⁠

⁠

@tunajibu The development in Nairobi National Park will cut off the Maasai from their livelihoods and traditional way of life. We demand you #SaveNNP and stop the development immediately. #MagicalKenya⁠

⁠

@NemaKenya stop the luxury development and #SaveNNP! The Maasai gave up their land for conservation, not for development. Nairobi National Park does not need more development. #MagicalKenya⁠

⁠

@StateHouseKenya stop the development in Nairobi National Park NOW! The park and the Maasai community that depends on it are threatened by new development for the wealthy. #SaveNNP @MagicalKenya⁠

@tunajibu @FoNNaPKenya @NemaKenya @kwskenya there seems to be sinister motives in fragmenting the park so that it can be considered unviable lead to encroachment of protected land #SaveNNP Sign the petition: https://bit.ly/3eGbV0I Support here https://bit.ly/2XXgHQy⁠

@tunajibu @FoNNaPKenya @NemaKenya @kwskenya there is a need for a comprehensive EIA to be done as most of the implementations will be massive ecological disasters #SaveNNP Sign the petition https://bit.ly/3eGbV0I Support here https://bit.ly/2XXgHQy⁠

@tunajibu @FoNNaPKenya @NemaKenya @kwskenya For tourism to thrive in any wild space there needs to be good wildlife and nature and therefore it is utmost important to protect the integrity and diversity of the natural being of the park. #SaveNNP⁠
