I am wildlife ecologist based at Mammalogy Section, National Museums of Kenya (http://www.museums.or.ke) and run projects; 1). TECDI (https://www.facebook.com/tecdi.weebly/) and 2). MAKENYA ((https://www.spotteron.com/makenya/menu). My research interests; 1). Community ecology of terrestrial biodiversity (birds and small mammals (bat & rodents); 2). Wildlife (mammals)-human interactions studies including knowledge, perceptions and attitudes about animals and wildlife education; 3). Sustainable management and exploitation of natural resources to alleviate human poverty in a manner which does not affect biodiversity and human well-being; My Philosophy in wildlife conservation: Wildlife conservation should not use top-down approaches, but bottom-up approach; Local people must be GENUINELY involved in wildlife conservation if we are to SUCCEED in conservation of biodiversity to perpetuity.
