"Our VSLA groups in Amboseli continue to do well, with members utilising their savings for alternative livelihoods and to offset household budgets, especially on school fees and health. Alternative livelihoods are important for climate change resilience, while providing a platform for conservation messaging."- Phoebe Odhiang', Community Engagement Programme Manager, Born Free Foundation.

Through their beautiful drawings, the young conservationists at Enkii Primary School in Amboseli are raising powerful awareness about wildlife, their habitats, and the importance of peaceful coexistence.

Each pencil stroke tells a story of elephants roaming freely, wildlife grazing peacefully, and the delicate balance of nature we must all work to protect. Through our conservation clubs, we are nurturing a new generation of environmental champions, turning creativity into advocacy and inspiring young minds to become passionate stewards of nature for the future! 🐘🦒 🦁

How do we inspire people to protect wildlife? 🦁🐘🦒

It starts with dialogue. Through community talks, hands-on activities, and open discussions, we're sharing knowledge.

When people understand how nature supports their daily lives, they're more likely to protect it.

Healthy environment = healthy livelihoods.
