It’s been a long time since I blogged so I will start with the good news.  The Elephant corridor fence is finally being built and though we are still waiting for the funding to come in for Virgin Atlantic we will start with the underpasses as soon as we receive the money. Unfortunately we are under budget for this project because of the delay of payments and other unavoidable circumstances, particularly the economic climate. In order to be viable the corridor is also now longer than originally planned. This is because we have added a portion of land and because there have been ‘tweaks’ made in the alignment by the farms that the corridor will pass through.  The picture shows the game proof fence that will form one end of the corridor on Kisima Farm bordering the Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve.  The corridor is the first of its kind in this region of the world.  We need further support to finish the corridor which will provide a vital route for elephants who need to migrate on and off Mount Kenya.
