  • KO RA N Ationalpark, Asako Village,Kenya
    A B K George Adamson loved Kora as one of the last true y O T s wildernesses in Kenya. Inaccessible, thorny and o boiling hot as it was, it was ideal refuge for him, n a R y his lions and his ideals although he was under F k enormous pressure from Somali tribesmen, their i A t stock and their guns. Ultimately he fell to their z o j guns, but that was something we were both o h N prepared to accept for the privilege of the way of n v life there and what we were able to achieve. a i George desperately wanted me to continue his l t l work there and to make sure that all our efforts George Adamson’s camp, rebuilt by GAWPT a i had not been in vain. It was out of the question at o the time as the politics then were in disarray and I g n had taken on The Mkomazi Project in Tanzania in e George’s name, which was and still is a difficult a and time-consuming task with never an end in , sight. l K P Times have changed. Domestic stock is still a e problem in Kora with on going pastoral incursions. a n But the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) are r y determined to rehabilitate Kora as part of the k Meru conservation area. They have a multi- a , disciplinary approach to the problem and we are George Adamson at Kora 1987 . confident that they will make it work. Poaching of – Photographers International the large mammals has abated almost completely.
