NAIROBI, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan President William Ruto on Friday launched a compensation scheme for victims of wildlife attacks to help them rebuild their livelihoods and meet hefty medical bills.
Launched in the northern Kenyan county of Laikipia, home to iconic species including elephants, rhinoceros and buffaloes, the human-wildlife conflict mitigation and compensation scheme is expected to foster harmonious coexistence between local communities and animals in the wild, Ruto said.
