Abstract

The article discusses a harmful wildlife tourism practice observed at Lake Naivasha in Kenya, where African Fish-Eagles are artificially fed fish stuffed with polystyrene during boat tours, posing a risk of poisoning and environmental pollution. Topics include the negative impact of artificial feeding on wildlife health, the potential consequences of polystyrene ingestion, and the need for research, education, and intervention to address such malpractices in wildlife tourism.
