Amboseli Conservancies
Pioneers of Community Conservation
The Community conservancies in the Amboseli Ecosystem are crucial in securing the intricate balance for the wildlife and communities in the landscape. The conservancies offer crucial habitat connectivity and dispersal areas for the wildlife migratory routes from the Amboseli NP to the Tsavo National Park, Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park and the Chyulu National Park.
AET currently has a membership of 35 conservancies covering approximately 650.166.17 acres of land and supporting over 90,000 households and 744 community rangers under the Amboseli Tsavo Community Rangers Association (ATCRA).
The landscape, regarded as a pioneer in community conservation, is home to the first community-owned wildlife sanctuary: Kimana Community Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Amboseli conservancies are at various stages of being full conservancies, ranging from operational conservancies, emerging conservancies and proposed conservancies.
