Tsavo-Mkomazi
The Tsavo-Mkomazi landscape straddles the boundary between Kenya and Tanzania. It is one of the world’s largest protected areas, home to more than a third of Kenya’s elephants and nearly a fifth of its black rhinos. Stresses include infrastructure development, climate change impacts, and freshwater availability.
Our holistic approach includes the following activities:
- Partnering with communities through collaborative land-use planning, alternative livelihood development, and youth and education programs
- Reducing human-wildlife conflict
- Strengthening park rangers’ eco-monitoring and data collection
- Providing counter-wildlife-trafficking support, including judicial and prosecutorial training
- Supporting cross-border anti-poaching collaboration
These comprehensive strategies prioritize the protection of elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and lions—work that benefits other species as well and safeguards natural resources for current and future generations.
