Northern Rangelands Trust
Transforming Lives, Conserving Nature
Grassroots conservation aimed at enhancing people’s lives, building peace and conserving the natural environment.
The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) is a membership organisation owned and led by the 45 community conservancies it serves in Kenya (northern and coastal regions) and Uganda. NRT was established as a shared resource to help build and develop community conservancies, which are best positioned to enhance people’s lives, build peace and conserve the natural environment.

NRT serves its member conservancies. These are local institutions run for and by indigenous people to support the management of community-owned land for the benefit of improving livelihoods. As institutions, community conservancies not only give people a voice, but provide a platform for developing sustainable enterprise and livelihoods either directly or indirectly related to conservation.
