Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a pioneering conservation organization that has transformed a former cattle ranch into a world-renowned model for wildlife conservation and community development. Their integrated approach combines rigorous wildlife protection with comprehensive community development programs across northern Kenya.
The organization implements multiple programs including: anti-poaching and wildlife protection; community health and education; sustainable agriculture and water management; and conservation education. Their work extends beyond their boundaries through their support of other conservancies and community conservation initiatives across the region.
Lewa has achieved remarkable conservation success, helping bring both black and white rhino populations back from the brink of extinction while supporting the livelihoods of thousands of people in neighboring communities. Their model of combining world-class wildlife conservation with community development has become a blueprint for conservation across Africa.
