Abstract

David Western, the conservation biologist who was sacked on 21 May as head of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), was reinstated 6 days later for a 9-month term by Kenya President Daniel arap Moi. Western says he now hopes to be able to complete the restructuring of the agency, which runs Kenya9s national parks and other protected areas. He believes he was dismissed largely for refusing to allow mining concessions on park lands, and that his reinstatement sends a very clear message that KWS lands are not up for grabs.
