The project seeks to promote locally led conservation for improved livelihoods, wildlife, and biodiversity conservation in Amboseli and Tsavo landscapes. It is implemented by International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) that supports Amboseli Ecosystem Trust (AET) and Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association (TTWCA) to improve their governance and management skills in implementing conservation actions in the landscapes. The umbrella organizations then transfer better governance practices to member conservancies to help them more effectively manage wildlife and biodiversity in their jurisdictions. IFAW implements the project in partnership with Big Life Limited, Tsavo Trust, AET and TTWCA. The four project objectives are:
● Improving governance of Tsavo and Amboseli landscapes.
● Reducing threats and improving biodiversity conservation.
● Increasing partnerships for landscape-level economic growth and sustainability.
● Increasing community and ecosystem resilience
