OUR WORK

Biodiversity in Kenya and eastern Africa is under threat from unsustainable land-use practices, weakened community land governance, and growing pressures on natural resources. The African Conservation Centre (ACC) is on a mission to change that. For over 25 years, we've served as an East African hub that advances collaborative conservation to sustain biodiversity, culture, and community.

FOCUS AREAS

As a widely recognized leader in community-based conservation, we champion proven approaches based on community interests and capacity, local leadership, and sound ecological science.

Science & Indigenous Knowledge

We contribute to the conservation and management of biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources through science and indigenous knowledge to inform policy and conservation practice, support evidence-based decision-making and increase awareness amongst stakeholders.

Communities & Conservation

We support community conservation that empowers and benefits local communities, building local capacity and creating grassroots models of effective, locally-led conservation.

Policy & Practice

We influence policy and practice to promote inter-sectoral coordination, sustainable natural resource management, effective implementation and sound governance, including community empowerment and benefits from wildlife and other natural resources.

Learning Hubs & Networks

We've played a key role in establishing several impactful grassroots organizations and resource centres in Kenya, as well as the Ecotourism Society of Kenya (ESOK), now known as Ecotourism Kenya. We've also been involved in creating land-use plans and management bodies for some of Kenya's first conservancies in Kenya.
