Wildlife Poaching and Rule of Law in Kenya

  • Paul J. Zwier EMAIL logo and David Sergio Glajar

Abstract

A look into the relationship between general rule of law development, from a distinctly Christian analytical perspective, and wildlife (namely elephant) poaching in Kenya. How can the concrete establishment of a solid legal foundation and rule of law help combat widespread elephant poaching in Kenya and the surrounding regions? How can rule of law development help to create a “Kenyan-specific” solution to this issue?
