A proposed new avocado farm in Kenya would block the movements of elephants and other wildlife near a major national park. Local conservation activists say the farm would cut off the free movement of about 2,000 elephants living in the area around Amboseli National Park. The park is in southern Kenya near the border with Tanzania. The area is also home to other wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, and hippos. Kenyan agriculture company KiliAvo Fresh Ltd has farms near Amboseli on nearly 70 hectares of land. The company is preparing to grow avocados which have been rising in popularity around the world. Conservationists say the new farm and an electric fence around it will block the path of animals moving between Amboseli and other national parks nearby.
