ANIMAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL WELFARE
_______________________________________________________________________________

Kenya is working hard to contain poaching, with the thanks of the Kenya Wildlife Service.

The animals have right-of-way in the National Parks and Game Reserves.  Driving off-road is not allowed, nor is close proximity to the animals.  The Rangers will give you a card outlining the Park Regulations.


                                              The Kenya Wildlife Service  - KWS
          
                                               http://www.kws.org/parks/parks_reserves/TWNP.html

The Kenya Wildlife Service conserves and manages Kenya’s wildlife for the Kenyan people and the world. It is a state corporation established by an Act of Parliament Cap 376, with the mandate to conserve and manage wildlife in Kenya, and to enforce related laws and regulations.

 

The challenges facing wildlife and biodiversity conservation in Kenya are many and varied. They include climate change, habitat degradation and loss, forest depletion, tourism market volatility, human wildlife conflict brought on by population growth and changing land use habits of communities that co-exist with wildlife as well as wildlife crime.



To tackle these issues, we employ a multi-pronged approach and strategies and engage different interest groups, stakeholders and partners.

KWS undertakes conservation and management of wildlife resources outside protected areas in collaboration with stakeholders. It is our goal to work with others to conserve, protect and sustainably manage wildlife resources. 

The community wildlife program of KWS in collaboration with others encourages biodiversity conservation by communities living on land essential to wildlife, such as wildlife corridors and dispersal lands outside parks and reserves. The premise is that "if people benefit from wildlife and other natural resources, then they will take care of these resources."


The Baobab Trust
The Baobab Trust is a non-profit making organisation founded in 1991.  The commitments of the Boabab Trust are in the field of nature, environment and resources protection, as well as environment education.  It carries out community-based projects which include sustainable farmer training, health and education awareness.  Its aim is to work and assist the surrounding local stakeholder communities in Bamburi and focus on food security, health, water conservation, agriculture and education - through workshops, training, open days and educational tours.

The Kenya Society for the Prevention and Care of Animals -  KSPCA
http://www.kspcamsa.com

The KSPCA is the only charitable organisation in Kenya working in the field of animal welfare, receiving no official funding and relying entirely on fundraising activities, members' generosity and donations for support.

The KSPCA aims to educate children, as the animal owners of the future, to tend and care for their animals.  They have introduced a 'Spay and Save Campaign', sterilising all female cats and dogs prior to re-homing them - and all at their own expense.  The staff travel extensively to maintain a Rabies Inoculation Scheme and they spot-check on all the slaughterhouses.  There is also a Feral Cat Neutering Scheme with all the hotels, as well as continuing their work rescuing strays, injured and abandoned animals.


Helping the KSPCA
The KSPCA welcomes support from visitors e.g any spare Kenyan currency at the end of your holiday, copies of cat/dog magazines and also cat/dog care leaflets (for handing out). You can send donations, made out in Kenyan Shillings, to KSPCA, PO Box 80379, Mombasa, Kenya or KSPCA, PO Box 24203, Nairobi, Kenya. Visiting vets who wish to donate their services (e.g. for trap-neuter-release schemes) or veterinary items should contact the KSPCA for further information.
