From Kwale School for the Mentally Challenged, to Central Primary in Trans-Nzoia County, to Rumuruti Primary in Laikipia County and all the way to GS GATEGERO Primary School in Rwanda, our learners marked the by planting trees, drawing and managing their environmental projects. In Kwale the students planted 70 different trees and were joined by guests including the Kwale County TSC Director, TSC Human Resource-Kwale County, KWS-Kwale County Education Officer, Head of Security from KWS and Kenya Institute of Special Education student teachers. In Rwanda, learners marked the occasion by planting 50 trees. In Laikipia the learners spent time drawing and colouring while students at Central Primary School continued their ongoing agroforestry activities, nurturing both bean crops and trees as part of their sustainable land management practices. WildlifeDirect is collaborating with over 400 schools across the region and we envision a generation of African children who know, love, and defend wildlife, supported by empowered educators who confidently deliver conservation education and schools that serve as community hubs for environmental stewardship. 🌱🌿☘️🌳

🌍 Happy World Environment Day! 💚

As climate impacts continue to grow, so does our collective action toward solutions.

Today, 50 enthusiastic learners from Oloosirkon Comprehensive School, alongside their teachers, joined our staff, the Public Health Officer, County Council officers, the area Chief, and community elders for a community cleanup exercise in Tuala, Kajiado.

Together, we demonstrated that protecting our environment starts with local action and shared responsibility. Every piece of litter collected is a step toward a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for all.

👏 Thank you to everyone who participated and showed that when communities come together, positive change happens.

If you’re a teacher, parent, or just looking for something meaningful and exciting for kids to do, this is the perfect experience. Children will get the chance to explore, learn about wildlife, and enjoy hands-on activities that bring nature to life.

It’s not just about learning, it’s about curiosity, laughter, and those “wow” moments outdoors.

Day two with school teachers

Teachers from across Kenya visiting the WildlifeDirect Field Lab adjacent to Nairobi Park- a center for kids to experience nature first hand, and a place for training our Nature Positive School Club patrons.

Rainy season gave them much exposure to plants and we trained them to use iNaturalist - in 2.5 hours they had logged over 450 specimens representing at least 150 species!!

We will be conducting a wet season Bioblitz very soon. Email [email protected] for a visit and to join a training or a Bioblitz .

Help a Young Boy Walk Again after a Devastating Elephant Encounter.

A 7 year old boy in our community was seriously injured by an elephant on his way to school, suffering multiple fractures. He is now stable and receiving care, but faces a long and difficult recovery.

We aim to raise USD 15,000 to cover his immediate medical care, rehabilitation, a wheelchair, physiotherapy, and to help restore the family’s livelihood with livestock.

Every gift, large or small, will help this child heal and return to school.
