Kenya plans to introduce a 1% levy on entry fees to its national parks, reserves, and conservancies in order to support wildlife conservation efforts.

The National Treasury has announced this decision, which aims to generate funds for the Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund. The fund will be used for managing and restoring protected areas. The revenue from this levy will be crucial for protecting endangered species and improving conservation efforts in Kenya.

The country is taking significant measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of its natural heritage in the face of environmental challenges.
