NRT and the conservancies
Local community members benefitting from the conservancy model
Indigenous leaders in community conservancies have completed NRT’s bespoke Leadership and Management Programme since its inception in 2016
Teenage pregnancies, early marriages, and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) have created a devastating wave of girls' school dropouts in northern and coastal Kenya.
These interventions have facilitated rainwater harvesting and storage for domestic, farm and livestock use, reduced the community’s heavy reliance on Ngare Ndare Forest, and improved food security, in line with this year’s World Food Day theme: 'Right to Foods for a Better Life and a Better Future.'
From nine northern-Kenya based conservancies at the onset, today, NRT is a 45-member umbrella organisation operating across northern and coastal Kenya and Uganda. Working together, indigenous communities in NRT member conservancies are conserving 15 endangered species, and an astonishing variety of wildlife across over 15 million acres of land.
