Creating a future where humans and wildlife live in harmony

Animal Activists Kenya

We are a non-profit, youth-led initiative founded to reduce issues caused by human-wildlife conflict, such as habitat loss and bush-meat hunting. We raise money to support various conservation projects, charities and organizations in their efforts to preserve Kenya’s Wildlife and Natural Habitats.

Understanding Human-Wildlife Conflict

Human-wildlife conflict has torn the landscapes of Kenya for decades, it arises when the intrests of growing human populations clash with the needs and behaviour of wildlife. Human-wildlife conflict stems from the lack of space for both human settlements and local species, resulting in conflicting interests. Additionally, poaching for ivory, hides, and skins; bushmeat hunting; and trophy hunting are other leading causes of human-wildlife conflict. Supporting community conservation efforts is crucial to combating human-wildlife conflict.

Why Community Conservation?

Community conservation efforts are extremely beneficial because of the positive impacts experienced by both parties. These include local communities contributing towards the protection and flourishing of local wildlife and ecosystems while benefiting from sustainable income. In this way, both humans and wildlife learn to coincide and live in harmony.
