For decades, local communities were often left out of conservation efforts in Africa. Community-based conservation by contrast recognizes that local communities are an integral part of conservation. Join Professor Buzz Thompson and Tom Lalampaa, global leader in community-based conservation and the Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Rangelands Trust, as they discuss how conservation efforts are thriving in Kenya despite persistent and new challenges.
The Northern Rangelands Trust brings together 39 community owned and run conservancies in northern and coastal Kenya. These conservancies protect over 10 million acres of land and a diverse array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and black rhino. This land is also home to over 300,000 indigenous people belonging to 18 different ethnic groups. Listen to the full podcast to hear more about how the Northern Rangelands Trust supports resilient community conservancies that protect the lives and livelihoods of their people, secures peace, and conserves nature.
