A new financing facility has been launched to support community-led conservancies and help Kenya meet its target of protecting 30 per cent of land and sea by 2030.
The Kenya Conservancies Fund (KCF) was unveiled to channel money and technical support directly to conservancies, many of which struggle with governance, revenue generation and long-term sustainability.
The initiative is led by the Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Association (KWCA), a national membership body that represents conservancies across the country. KWCA says the fund will help shift conservancies from early-stage projects into viable conservation and livelihood enterprises.
