SAVE THE PELICANS

The Pelicans population has been reduced by a man made feature (uncoated electric wire) within Soysambu Conservancy, the deaths occur when these  birds are electrocuted by the wire cutting across the migration route of such birds. The Birds migrate as a flock from Lake Nakuru to Lake Elmenteita. Some are injured and remain walking, some just lie on the terrestrial land, this is not usual for these birds to walk on land as they are  aquatic birds. The migration of these birds to Lake Elmenteita is very vital as this is the only breeding site for such bird species in East Africa.
Attention:
The Kenya Power and Lighting company should chip in and help us to reduce such deaths by having a coated electric wire within our protected areas especially ,the line running within Soysambu conservancy since, the problem has been on since the installation of such a line.
