"The natural resources of this country, its wildlife which offers such attraction to visitors from all over the world, the beautiful places in which these animals live. The mighty forests which guard the water catchment areas so vital to the survival of man and beast are a priceless heritage for the future. The government of Kenya fully realising the value of its natural resources pledges itself to preserve them for posterity with all means at its disposal" The President of the Republic of Kenya, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta
