Kakuzi birdwatching tour ends in triumph as Japanese royalty sights rare migratory birds
While acknowledging that Birds are powerful indicators of environmental health, Mr Flowers confirmed that Kakuzi continues to see steady growth in bird diversity within its borders.
Nairobi, Kenya – Princess Takamado, a member of Japan’s Royal Family and Honorary President of BirdLife International, experienced a triumphant birdwatching tour at Kakuzi Plc orchards in Murang'a County, Kenya. The excursion concluded with her sighting and photographing the Eurasian Bee-eater and the Osprey, both migratory birds that breed in Europe before making their way to Africa during September-October.
Managing Director of Kakuzi Plc, Mr. Chris Flowers, highlighted the company's dedication to sustainable agriculture and preserving its water catchment area, which has led to the thriving local bird population. The Princess emphasized the importance of international cooperation in protecting migratory birds, noting that they bridge continents and ecosystems.
She expressed her pride in the scientific community, conservation organizations, and financial sector uniting to safeguard these birds, as highlighted in the recent State of the World’s Birds report, which reveals a concerning 45% decline in migratory bird species, with six others potentially extinct in recent centuries.
