Bongosa Mcharo is a disturbed man. The chairperson of the Taita-Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association (TTWCA) is concerned about the frequent wildfires that continue to consume thousands of acres of vegetation and threatening the survival of wildlife and water bodies in the vast Tsavo ecosystem and local ranches.

“Malicious people have been causing the wildfires that have badly affected wildlife conservation efforts in Tsavo ecosystem especially at this time of ravaging dry spell,” says Mcharo who is a prominent rancher and a conservationist.
