UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kenya goes Under Threat

  • 4 years ago
Kenya’s remote island of Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is under threat, say activists. Authorities are constructing major projects on the mainland, including a port, an oil pipeline, and transport links. While the infrastructure is likely to boost the local economy, some Lamu residents worry the development and a flood of outsiders will affect the local culture and architecture, which some say is already falling apart. Ruud Elmendorp reports from Lamu. This video is brought to you by NewsGram in association with BBG.
