THEMATIC AREAS




WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
To support Laikipia’s wildlife abundance, we helped develop the county’s first wildlife conservation strategy in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Kingdom of Netherlands (EKN). This set off the process of mobilising communities to proactively take part in the county’s wildlife conservation initiatives.
MOUNT KENYA EWASO WATER PARTNERSHIP
We tailor our level of involvement and approach to each country’s water challenges. We only work with countries at their request – our impact depends on a strong government commitment to work with partners through a constructive, transparent, and sustained dialogue.
RANGELAND MANAGEMENT
Across the grasslands or rangelands an increase in bare land and bush has been a clear trend all over Laikipia for many years, both on community owned lands and private ranches. Its effects are far-reaching; threatening the lives of people and livestock. LF aims to tackle the formidable task of bringing life back.
CONSERVATION EDUCATION AND CITIZEN SCIENCE
LF has been the major conservation education player in the Laikipia landscape for over 15 years. Laikipia’s schools and pupils have benefitted from learning excursions supported by donors during this time. The model was highly valued, but not sustainable.
