The Kenyan government has launched a plan to eliminate one million house crows by December 31. The invasive species, native to India, has been a nuisance for decades, stealing food from tourists, displacing local bird species, and raiding crops. The Kenya Wildlife Service has developed an action plan with stakeholders to tackle the problem, which has also affected the hotel industry along the coast. The crows' aggressive behavior and rapid breeding have made them a significant threat to the local ecosystem. The government's move aims to protect the environment and promote biodiversity.
