Who they are
Context
Our 45 member community conservancies are local institutions that support the management of community land. They are owned and run by indigenous communities to improve their livelihoods.
Over the last two decades, NRT member community conservancies have endeavoured to enhance their governance, build peace across the NRT landscape, and practice sustainable natural resource management.
Where they are Found
Spread across over 6.37 million hectares in Kenya and Uganda, NRT member community conservancies are changing the face of conservation in East Africa and are home to an astonishing variety of wildlife species.
Collectively, these community conservancies cover a larger land area than all of Kenya’s national parks and continue to benefit over a million people through conservation.
To ensure swift response and effective program execution, our member community conservancies are clustered into six regions with regional offices that are the first point of contact for communities and local governments in the areas in which they work.
