 * Talk:History of Kenya
 * Article Evaluation:Content & Lead Section
 * fs:Tone and Balance:fs:Sources & References:fs:Organization & Writing Quality:fs:Images and Media:fs:Talk Page:sdThe British colonial administration in Kenya oversaw the development of large-scale agricultural estates, such as tea and coffee plantations, which had significant environmental impacts, including deforestation and soil degradation. Additionally, the exploitation of labor in industries like mining and railway construction also had profound environmental and social consequences. None of this is discussed in the first article, while in the second one there is an incredibly long quote which discusses this rather than an in-depth analysis.:
