Save Amboseli Update - 22nd Novemer
2006
Dear Friends and Colleagues
Finally, we have some positive news with regards to the Amboseli
court case! After a seemingly endless string of court 'mentions',
which have been taking place since October 2005, a date for
the court hearing has at last been set for 14th March 2007.
The reasons for this protracted process have been numerous
- delays in submission of documents from the respondants and
government representatives failing to appear in court have all
contributed to this disappointingly long wait. Thankfully, however,
throughout this time Amboseli has retained its National Park
status and remains under the management of KWS.
Although March 2007 may feel some time away, it does give us
the opportunity to put together what I feel will be a very strong
case. We continue to be very much aware of the implications
that this case could have for other National Parks in Kenya,
and you can be assured we will be fighting hard to succeed.
We will additionally be seeking the advice of the court should
either or the respondants fail to appear at the hearing on the
required date, in order to try and avoid further delays.
We remain optimistic of success and thank you for your continued
support,
Kind regards,
Will Travers
