Overview:The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Established in 1995, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (Lewa, or the Conservancy) is an award-winning catalyst and model for community-centric conservation in northern Kenya. Lewa has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and features on the IUCN Green List of Excellence in protected area management. The Conservancy is the heart of wildlife conservation, sustainable development and responsible tourism in northern Kenya. Lewa’s successful working model has inspired replication by other conservation organizations in the region, notably through its close partner organization, the Northern Rangelands Trust, which now comprises 39 community conservancies.

Lewa is home to 14% of Kenya's rhino population, the world's largest resident population of the endangered Grevy's zebra, and many other species. The Conservancy also promotes landscape connectivity for wildlife, especially for more than 6,500 elephants that move from the high-altitude areas in the Mount Kenya Forest, through Lewa and the neighboring Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve, to habitats in Samburu and areas further north. 

Lewa’s success can be attributed to its close working partnership with neighboring communities through education, clean water projects, health clinics, microcredit programs, and sustainable agriculture work. Through a broad range of programs, the Conservancy benefits more than 60,000 people in surrounding communities who in turn have become Lewa’s first line of defense against poachers and criminal elements who seek to profit from illicit trade in rhino horn, ivory, and other wildlife products.
