Giraffe - 30 Nov 2015 - Nairobi National Park - Canon 5d mk 3 - ISO 100 - 140mm - f/7.1 - 1/250

At the end of November 2015 a article was released in the newspaper in Kenya showing a map of the railway passing through the Nairobi National Park. This article created a lot of noise and uncertainty and that is when I decided that I would join the fight to save the Nairobi National Park from the government and the railway. I know for a fact that many Kenyans are oblivious to the benefits of this park and therefore I decided to start focusing on pictures of wild animals with the city backdrop, in order to show them the true beauty of the gem of Nairobi. No capital city in the world apart from Nairobi has a National Park in the city. This photo should show that wildlife and man can coexist and no need to destroy it for development.
