namunyak trust
In 1993, Ian Craig of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy persuaded the neighbouring Il Ngwesi community to become the first community conservation initiative in the north of Kenya. By 1995 the Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust, an area of 185,000 acres of pristine wilderness was born and has now grown to 850,000 acres.
Today there are seventeen similar community projects up and running under the umbrella of The Northern Rangelands Trust (see map).
