History & Context

Aberdare National Park History Aberdare National Park is a protected area in central Kenya, situated mainly in the Aberdare Range, a highland mountain range that runs roughly north to south through the country. The park was established in 1950 to protect the mountain range and its wildlife. Before becoming a national park, the Aberdare region was inhabited by various indigenous communities, including the Kikuyu, Maasai, and Agikuyu people. The forest was regarded as a sacred place by the Kikuyu, who believed that their god, Ngai, lived on the mountain. They also used the forest for hunting, gathering, and as a source of medicinal plants. During the colonial era, the Aberdare region was declared a forest reserve by the British colonial government in 1900, and commercial logging began. However, the exploitation of the forest led to massive deforestation, soil erosion, and a decline in wildlife populations.
