First Lady Margaret Kenyatta has underscored the importance of art as a powerful tool to campaign against the needless killing of elephants and rhinos in the country.
She said the skilled craft provides a great opportunity for artists to use their creativity to highlight the need to preserve the natural heritage while deploring the unnecessary killing of the valuable animals.
“Through art we have an opportunity and responsibility to speak out against the deplorable killing of our wildlife,” said the First Lady when she presided over the opening of the Davina Dobie Art Exhibition at the Tribe Hotel, Gigiri, on Thursday evening.
She lauded Davina Dobie for putting the issue of elephant conservation on the global map through an art-based campaign.
The First Lady said since 2013 when the “Hands Off Our Elephants” campaign was launched, the country has taken many other strides in the struggle to protect the environment.
