Humans & Wildlife Living In Harmony
Promoting Human-Wildlife Coexistence through community sensitization, our 14KM elephant corridor and fencing projects
Over 500K Kms. Covered In Patrols
We have 5 ranger teams consisting 42 brave men who have dedicated their lives to serve and protect the Mount Kenya ecosystem. They achieve this through conducting routine, joint and camping patrols on the lookout for illegal activities, mitigating any potential threats on Flora & Fauna
Collaboration
Mount Kenya Trust has forged partnerships with key players in the landscape in order to achieve quick response, to maximize patrol impacts and in gathering intelligence in the region. Some of these partners include; Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Association, Community Forest Associations, The Judiciary and locals. Some of our ranger teams have been formed to ensure collaboration with Kenya Wildlife Service.
