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