"The degradation of Kenya's forests, wildlife reserves and coastal wildernesses will cripple east Africa's largest economy if left unchecked, the head of the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) said on Monday.
Achim Steiner said the decades-long trend of exploiting Kenya's biodiversity could severely damage its agriculture and tourism sectors, as well as its water supplies.
'To the economy of a country like Kenya, biodiversity is not a luxury. It is one of the pillars of its national economy,' Steiner told reporters in Nairobi, where the UNEP is based."
