One of the major challenges in Africa is the conflict between humans and wildlife. With population growth, humans are increasingly encroaching on animal habitats, leading to growing tensions between human settlements and wildlife.

By harnessing innovation and technology in this way, he believes it is possible for humans and wildlife to coexist peacefully in Kenya and beyond.
