A Grevy' s zebra, a threatened species, grazes at dawn on January 25, 2017 in the Loisaba wildlife conservancy in northern Laikpia where wildlife is losing ground to cattle herds from the indigenous communities where livestock numbers have increased by 76 percent while wildlife as fallen to 68 percent The broad plains of Mugie, a huge estate on a high plateau northwest of Mount Kenya, are crisscrossed with cattle trails and the wildlife is mostly gone. The knee- high grass remains, but not for long, reckons manager Josh Perrett, as tensions between semi- nomadic pastoralists and settled landowners take a destructive, sometimes violent turn.
