About us
WWF has been working in Kenya since 1962 alongside the government, civil society, private sector organisations and local communities to contribute towards providing an enabling environment for the achievement of sustainable natural resource management. Kenya’s natural resources are diminishing fast, while the human footprint is increasing. The root causes include, but are not limited to: large scale infrastructure development, rampant illegal wildlife trade, expanding agriculture, investments in extractive industries and climate change. Our work has expanded to include the following focus areas: Integrated fresh water resource management Management of marine resources Conservation and restoration of disappearing forests Supporting equitable sharing of natural resources Tackling of climate change and promotion of clean energy initiative by encouraging use of renewable energy Redirecting financial flows to support conservation and sustainable ecosystem management Governance through Influencing environmental policies at county and national levels, by engaging jointly to develop effective public policy Wildlife Conservation - protecting Kenya’s most ecologically important places and wildlife species
