Our Ethos
Human-wildlife conflict has torn the landscapes of Kenya for decades; it arises when the interests of growing human populations clash with the needs and behavior 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.
Community-based 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 coexist and live in harmony.
