For years, cases of human-wildlife conflict have plagued the communities living around Tsavo National Park, primarily due to high human populations and incompatible land use practices in the adjacent areas. Limited natural resources in the Tsavo ecosystem have led to the destruction of the once-thriving habitat, sparking conflicts between members of different conservancies and ranches as they compete for these essential resources.

The struggle for access to water, grazing land, and other vital resources has escalated tensions, creating a challenging environment where cooperation gives way to discord making it hard for everyone to work together in the area.
