Increase in human population- Population in Nairobi has grown over the years to Over 3,000,000 people currently Within the ecosystem, the population has grown from 80,000 in 1969 to 410,000 in Loss of dispersal & migration areas for wildlife- Fences, flower farming, eucalyptus farming, quarrying, gypsum mining, urban sprawl etc 3. Increase in human wildlife conflict and poaching Lions, hyenas, wildebeests etc 4. Economic valuation and appreciation of wildlife to socio-economic development wildlife conservation as the land use option

12 Gypsum mines Raw material for cement production- Located in calving & breeding areas

13 Emakoko quarries Major source of construction materials in Nairobi & surrounding urban areas

14 Zebras outside the park

15 Isinya flower farm

Loss of wildlife species and population decline 3. Habitat degradation- Pollution, invasive species Eg. Ipomoea species Death of the migration system- reduced number of animals migrating wildlife populations fell by 72% An average of 5% per year in the area outside NNP.

24 Nairobi National Park Ecosystem Pressure zones sheep & goat farm, under ministry of livestock 2 Isinya market center & surrounding development 3 - Kitengela market center & surrounding areas 4 Kiserian market center 5 Rongai and adjacent areas

25 Way forward Development of Kitengela-Isinya division Master plan of Kajiado district - in the last stages Active management of NNP Regulation and control of land subdivision in the ecosystem Community conservation areas and enterprises e.g Munchiriri swamp is proposed to be a community sanctuary Security and wildlife conflict resolution Education and awareness Stake holder collaboration
