Résumé

These Regulations, made by the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Natural Resources under section 116 (2) (f) of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013, concern the protection of endangered and threatened ecosystems, habitats and species in Kenya. They, among other things: divide ecosystems, habitats and species into categories (critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, protected; and threatened); provide for protection of ecosystems that are threatened or endangered so as to maintain their ecological integrity; provide for the protection of species that are threatened, endangered, vulnerable, or protected to ensure their survival in the wild; implement Kenya's obligations under international agreements regulating international trade in endangered species; and ensure sustainable management and utilisation of biodiversity. The Regulations specify measures to be implemented and prohibited or restricted activities for each category. The Kenya Wildlife Service shall, within twelve months of the commencement of these Regulations, identify and prepare an inventory of the listed ecosystems, habitats and species in Kenya.
