Subject: Chinese construction in Machakos and Athi River!

Hi,
 
The attached articles are interesting. 
 
This cannot be good for bird et al. conservation in the Machakos and Athi River areas...and, I suspect, also not good for the rhinos and elephants of eastern Africa.
 
I note that the Chinese Premier will be in Nairobi this month (May).  I wonder if he will meet with those interested in stopping the illegal trade in China of elephant ivory, rhino horn, gorillas, chimps, grey parrots, etc.
