| Abstract: | As their sales of projects in Africa increase at a high annual growth rate, Chinese contractors are encountering new challenges regarding wildlife protection during project construction. Using the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway project constructed by the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) as a case study, we researched how the CRBC involves itself in wildlife protection throughout the project. The results state that, although the CRBC's efforts show its commitment to wildlife protection, its overall involvement in this domain is far from successful. Chinese contractors need to improve their effort regarding wildlife protection for future projects. |
