The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has proposed its first comprehensive review of national park access fees in 18 years to address a Sh12 billion annual funding shortfall.

• KWS generates Sh7.92 billion annually but requires Sh19.79 billion to operate effectively.
• Prof Erustus Kanga, Director General of KWS, emphasized the proposal's significance for wildlife conservation and community support.
• The initiative aims to double revenue to Sh16.58 billion by 2028 and will involve public participation for feedback on the draft regulations.
