Our Work
Discover our projects conserving wildlife and improving livelihoods across the Amboseli Ecosystem.
Implementing the Amboseli Ecosystem Management Plan
The PIC
PIC is an organ working with AET which
draws membership from key government
agencies including NEMA, KWS, County, National
governments, Conservation and development
organization. The PIC reviews all major projects
in the ecosystem before their implementation
to ensure they are not in conflict with the wider
interests of the people as per the ecosystem plan.
Although PIC started as an informal stakeholder consultative arrangement,
it has been given a legal mandate under the
ecosystem plan to vet all major projects in the
Amboseli Ecosystem.
The Amboseli Community Conservancies
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
wildlife migratory routes from the Amboseli
National Park to the Tsavo National Park, Mt.
Kilimanjaro National Park and the Chyulu
National Park.
The Amboseli Rangelands
The rangelands of the Amboseli landscape are
the lifeline for wildlife and community livestock
that depend on their vast natural grasses,
shrubs and tapestry through out the year.
The impact of climate change and the increase
in livestock and wildlife in the Amboseli
landscape have had devastating impact on
the ecological viability and sustainability of
rangelands as a natural resource that supports
conservation and community livelihoods.
Wildlife security
AET’s wildlife security program works to build
the skills and capacity of community rangers
working in conservancies across the landscape.
The program facilitates trainings on different
skill sets that enhance rangers’ ability to
tackle the myriad of conservation challenges
happening across the dynamic and intricate
Amboseli landscape
