Sacred Places of Africa
How to protect our sacred sites all over the world is a matter of great concern for everybody who has known the power of prayer and the power of a rich spiritual heritage. People are looking for the way of protecting sacred places, as well as making sure that these gardens preserve wildlife.
One of the sacred places is found in Kenya, and is known as the skull caves. According to Kenyan legend, this was the place where the sun was born. One should understand that ancient sacred places, prohibited the hunting of the animals as well as ensured that the natural system was not disturbed, because people were not allowed to go into that area. That is the reason why, you can find the greatest and most well preserved diversity of nature in places where indigenous populations flourish. They have ancestral values that are based upon the spiritual, ethical and the sacred nature of nature herself. With this respect towards nature, they know everything about how they can interact and be a part of nature and creation itself.
One has also to understand that industrial pressure as well as tourism and destroying these sacred places slowly and steadily. Kakamega is the last remaining rainforest in Kenya. Loggers have already destroyed the rest of the rainforests. They have their eyes upon this place, also. This is the sacred site of the Taita tribe, whose heritage is being destroyed by the advent of technological development.
