Ewaso Enclave Conservancy sits in a gateway protecting Elephant Migration Corridors
Wildlife Conservation and Rangeland Management programme
Dedicated to the constant search for innovative Conservation ideas, advocating principles based on scientific data and hands-on experiences and stress-related impacts on Ecosystems and Wildlife
Programme Objectives
The programme focuses on three main objectives:
Wildlife habitat management
To enhance species performance.
Reduction of human impact
On habitats through sustainable practices.
Wildlife population monitoring
Minimize competition and manage predator activity.
Key Initiatives
Habitat Management Programme
Grass biomass, woodland areas, and water resources are critical to sustaining the conservancy’s ecological health. Efforts include:
-
Rehabilitation of degraded areas with palatable grass and indigenous woody vegetation.
-
Periodic monitoring of biomass and browser/grazer density to maintain ecological balance.
-
Soil conservation measures such as planting grass on eroded areas and stabilizing river embankments.
Wildlife Management Programme
To support population growth and minimize human-wildlife conflict, actions include:
-
Routine monitoring of wildlife populations by ecologists.
-
Fitting large predators with collars to track their movement and prevent straying into communities.
-
Ensuring connectivity with surrounding conservancies through open spaces.
-
Disease screening in collaboration with local veterinary offices.
Water Resource Management
Water security is fundamental for habitat sustainability. With three earth dams holding 160 cubic litres, the focus is on maintaining current sources and expanding capacity when necessary. Key activities include:
-
Monitoring water use across wildlife, research, and operational facilities.
-
Exploring options like rainwater harvesting, sand dams and additional boreholes.
Climatic and Habitat Variables
Rainfall patterns and fire risks are critical ecological variables. Actions include:
-
Installation of automatic weather stations for rainfall monitoring.
-
Fire management strategies like cutting fire breaks, acquiring firefighting equipment, and training personnel.
-
Eradicating invasive species and enhancing wildlife distribution evenly across the Conservancy.
Empowering Wildlife Conservation Across Laikipia
Why Engage the Community?
The surrounding communities are a critical asset to the success of the conservancy. By enlisting their support through meaningful collaboration, the EEC aims to:
-
Build partnerships for conservation.
-
Empower communities through employment, education, and joint projects.
-
Enhance the socio-economic well-being of local populations.
-
Create a sustainable, community-supported conservation framework.
Guiding Principles
Collaboration to enhance wildlife conservation.
Socio-economic benefits for local communities.
Management Objectives and Actions
Enhance Conservation Education and Awareness
-
Community Outreach in Schools: Establish conservation education programs in schools adjacent to EEC to build knowledge and foster sustainable environmental practices.
-
Conservation Awareness Campaigns: Use print and digital media to increase environmental awareness in nearby communities.
