CHD Conservation Kenya.

"Kenyan conservation will not work unless we spend time with the people, understanding their aspirations, pain, and disappointments." Dr.Winnie Kiiru, founder of CHD conservation Kenya.

Empowering local youth in conservation is our mission. Isiah, a remarkable mentee, shares how we ignited his passion and how he's now mentoring others.

Is there a Lake Amboseli? 🌍On our latest adventure, Kelvin Otwori set out on a quest to uncover the truth. Dive into his exciting journey and discover what he found!  #AdventureInTheWild #AmboseliMysteries

@Africa4Wildlife @CWitvrouwen @EastMan333 @paulakahumbu @dendresner @humphreyndegwa Drawing lines and bringing in fences, boundaries, and guns are strategies that haven't worked; we are losing our wildlife because everyday decisions are made without compassion

@Africa4Wildlife @CWitvrouwen @EastMan333 @paulakahumbu @dendresner @humphreyndegwa We believe in conservation that protects wildlife. While we respect Tanzania's sovereignty in addressing conservation, we do not support trophy hunting and advocate for sustainable practices that benefit wildlife and local communities.

Listen to African voices, e.g. Juma G, journalist from Kenya, about #Tanzania: “I came face-to-face with the brutal reality of #TrophyHunting. Tourists are given guns … to shoot #elephants ...” 👇🏾👇🏾 @CWitvrouwen @EastMan333 @paulakahumbu @dendresner @ChdKenya @humphreyndegwa

As we mark Wangari Maathai's 13th anniversary of her passing, we honour her legacy of planting seeds of hope, justice, and change. Her vision for a greener, more just world lives on in every tree planted and every life touched. Her spirit continues to inspire us all.

Empowering local youth to shape their destinies and drive change, especially in conservation, is our mission. Christopher, a remarkable mentee, is inspiring fellow youth in Amboseli to do the same. #PeopleCentredConservation

If we are to succeed in building a future for #Africa where #people and #wildlife thrive, we must engage with #youth in meaningful and impactful ways. We must help everyone recognize that #conservation is more than just about conserving wildlife and habitats; it is about ensuring that the people who live in and around conservation areas have a stake in their future. It is about creating opportunities for #youth to lead, innovate, and drive change. #Africanconservation

Meet Beatrice from Lemong’o, one of the women transforming their community at our Amboseli Indigenous tree nursery. In this #YouthFocus episode, she shares about nurturing the native trees while earning income for her family.  #WomenInConservation

After four impactful days, 20 teachers from the Amboseli ecosystem completed our ESD workshop, culminating in a certificate ceremony led by Warden Nathan Gatundu. We thank our educators, facilitators, and partner @biglifeafrica who made this transformative event possible.

We are excited to have launched our three-day Boys Camp, dedicated to holistic development and conservation education. As Eric Mungai wisely said, 'If we don't do something for boys and men, we would have done nothing for women and girls.' #boysempowerment #conservationeducation

Did you know many residents near national parks have never visited them? Our recent journey to Amboseli changed that. The girls finally witnessed their ecosystem's beauty Thanks to @ElephantTrust for this memorable experience. youtu.be/hGhVBXYW_EY

Born in 1983 to Chloe of the CB family, Calvin has been a part of our research since birth. From a curious calf to a strong, independent male, we’ve followed his life closely. Now, in his prime, Calvin freely roams the Amboseli ecosystem living out his life.

We've just concluded an inspiring 4-day camp with Maasai girls from Lemong'o, Ngong Narok, and Namelock. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of @ElephantTrust and a thoughtful book donation from friends of CHD, our girls are leaving equipped with the tools to shape their futures.

Happy World Elephant Day! Celebrate elephants with us. For 50+ years, our research has advanced elephant conservation, but they still face urgent threats. Support their future by donating to your favorite elephant charity today. Every bit helps!
