Shazaad explained that sadly, with the continuous decrease of natural habitats due to infrastructure development and encroachment of farms into the national parks, cases of human wildlife conflict are on the rise.He added: “As a Wildlife Cameraman and Honorary Game Warden who spends a lot of time in the parks, incidences such as these this are tragically becoming more and more common.

“But wildlife is able to get a second chance thanks to the support from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Kenya Wildlife Service.
