This has become a common sight now on Mombasa Road, wildlife getting killed by trucks.
Wild animals have to walk for several kilometres to access underpasses because most parts of the SGR has been fenced off.
At least 130 kilometres of the 487-kilometre railway line runs through the Tsavo conservation area.
There are ONLY eight underpasses that connect Tsavo West to Tsavo East national parks. The contractor fenced off water culverts which would also have allowed free the movement of the wildlife within and outside the protected area.
The sgr railway has disrupted the natural movement/migration patterns of wildlife forcing human- wildlife interaction which was reserved only for national parks in the past.
