\"\"<\/a>NAIROBI, Jun 20 \u2013 Two lions and four cubs have been killed by angry residents on the outskirt of Kenya\u2019s capital, Nairobi, after they invaded a homestead killing a dozen of livestock.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred early Wednesday morning in Oloika area in Kitengela according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).<\/p>\n

KWS Corporate Communication Manager Paul Udoto said they were investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge Kenyans to desist from killing straying wild animals and instead report the matter to us as these animals are part of our national heritage,” he said.<\/p>\n

Incidences of stray wildlife being sighted near homes has been on the rise especially in areas neighbouring the Nairobi National Park.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Dagoretti Corner area residents on a revenge mission killed a leopard that had strayed into the village from Thogoto forest in Kikuyu on the outer edge of Nairobi where it had killed a goat. <\/p>\n

“We cannot continue to act like this as there are policies in place to protect human beings from wildlife and the solution is not to kill wild animals,\u201d said Udoto. <\/p>\n

A feature we posted only two days ago on the human wildlife conflict tells it all. <\/a><\/p>\n

When Danish author Karen Blixen penned her autobiography \u201cOut of Africa\u201d, she wrote of the fierce leopards and lions that prowled the coffee estate she farmed at the foot of Kenya\u2019s Ngong hills.<\/p>\n

Today, that farm is a leafy upmarket suburb of the rapidly growing capital Nairobi, swallowed up by breakneck urbanisation that has turned a century-old colonial railway yard into a traffic-clogged major city.<\/p>\n

But the sharp toothed big cats have remained, finding themselves under growing pressure as one of Africa\u2019s fastest growing cities creeps onto ancient migration routes and hunting grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been no attacks on humans \u2014 only dogs \u2014 but as the encroachment increases the probability of attacks grows,\u201d said Francis Gakuya, chief vet for KWS, as captured lion cubs growled in the background.<\/p>\n

Pacing in a cage at the KWS headquarters in Nairobi, four orphaned cubs hiss and snarl at vets taking care of them \u2014 then give a surprisingly powerful roar for a two-month-old baby already the size of a small dog.<\/p>\n

Wildlife rangers were forced to shoot dead the cubs\u2019 mother after it was spotted in Nairobi\u2019s Karen suburb and it charged before it could be darted. The cubs are now being looked after.<\/p>\n

But it is not the only recent case. Conservationists warn of the growing likelihood of closer interaction between wildlife and humans if development is not managed in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n

Another lioness captured last month later escaped back into the park, a 117 square kilometre (45 square mile) wilderness where buffalo and rhino roam just seven kilometres (four miles) from the bustling high-rise city centre.
\nWildlife officials have issued warnings to residents near the park to call them \u201cshould they see another lion in their area as it is possible more than one lion had strayed from the park.\u201d<\/p>\n

Traps are set out when a big cat is reported but the wily lions have so far avoided the baited cages \u2013 sparking concern in residents, fearful at night when guard dogs howl that a lion could be hunting in the back yard.
\n\u201cLions can hide invisible in the long grass so it\u2019s frightening they could be around waiting to pounce,\u201d said Mary Okello, who lives close to where recent lions were caught.<\/p>\n

Visit the park and one is rewarded by the bizarre sight of long-necked giraffes running through wide plains of yellow grass with the gleaming skyscrapers of Nairobi\u2019s business district rising in the distance.
\n\u2013 \u2018The lion loses out\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n

Although fenced in on the city side \u2014 some bars even have terraces where one can view animals over a cold drink \u2014 the park is open-sided elsewhere else to allow the annual wildlife migration in search of grazing.<\/p>\n

Zebra and wildebeest in the park migrate from the protected Nairobi national park through informal wildlife corridors, areas where pastoralist herders graze their cattle. But Kenya\u2019s population is quickly growing.<\/p>\n

The land is under threat from increasing urbanisation and more intensive agriculture, and the routes used by migrating herds in search of fresh grass \u2014 and the carnivores that follow for fresh meat \u2014 are growing narrower.
\n\u201cSome can\u2019t find their way through, and they get stranded,\u201d said Nicholas Oguge, President of the Ecological Society for Eastern Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an urgent need for an effective land policy\u2026without establishing formal wildlife corridors, Nairobi National Park will become like an island, a large contained zoo,\u201d added Oguge, a professor at the University of Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The situation has changed dramatically in recent decades. In the 1970s residents used to report roaming herds of wildebeest several hundred thousand strong. Today, in comparison, there are just a relative handful of wildebeest left.<\/p>\n

Conservationists say wildlife protection is a low priority for city officials struggling with multiple challenges in a grossly unequal capital of some 3.5 million people with overstretched basic services and infrastructure.
\nIn Nairobi, lavish villas rub shoulders with squalid slums and cramped high rise apartments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNairobi National Park is a microcosm of what is happening elsewhere,\u201d said Luke Hunter, president of the wild cat conservation group Panthera, noting that lions have lost over 80 percent of their historic lands across Africa.
\n\u201cIn protected areas lions do well\u2026 but outside they are getting hammered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenyan wildlife officials and other conservation groups are working to support the establishment of a wildlife corridor, including mapping the key routes, but it is no easy matter, said Paul Mbugua, KWS assistant director.
\n\u201cIt would be good to have corridors in place, but we have a challenge as all the land to the south of Nairobi is owned by somebody,\u201d Mbugua said.<\/p>\n

Land in Kenya is both increasingly expensive and a highly political issue.<\/p>\n

Kenya plunged into violence after disputed 2007 elections, with land grievances a key contributing factor to the explosion of brutal killings, and demarcating protected corridors is harder than simply drawing lines on a map.
\nLion attacks on livestock are reported, but there have been no recent attacks on humans in Nairobi, experts say, but contact will grow as the city expands.<\/p>\n

\u201cLions respect and fear people and try to get out of the way,\u201d added Hunter.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with development in areas important to lions, people and lions will mix more and more\u2026 and an individual lion can be incredibly dangerous. In that mix, inevitably it is the lion that loses out.\u201d
