Iwapo mazingira yatapotea, sisi pia. Mazingira asili, ndio nguzo ya maisha yetu. Sisi ndio kizazi cha kwanza kujua kwamba tunaharibu makao yetu. Na huenda sisi ndio kizazi cha mwisho kuchukua hatua na kuubadili mwenendo huu - .
..If nature is under threat we are. If nature collapses we do too. Nature is our life-support system. From the fresh air, we breathe to the soil that nurtures our crops, people need natural resources to survive and thrive. But, we're losing nature faster than it can restore itself yet, Kenya is a nature-based economy. This is a direct threat to our future. We are the first generation to know we are destroying our home. And we could be the last that can do anything about it. Be part of the movement that will ensure we live in harmony with nature. There is lots we can do together!

You borrowed our looks. You borrowed our name. We take it as a compliment.

You needed strength, dependability and the promise of outlasting everything around you.

Now we have come calling, calling for the years our faces have given your brands everything we represent and we are not making this call just for making it.

We need your help to survive, the rangers who take care of us need help.

The home we live in needs help to thrive so we can grow and become more. ​

That is all.​

Signed, the herd.​

There are 42,072 of them. The target is 45,000 by 2030.

That is the gap.

It does not close through admiration, it closes through collars, corridors and
rangers who are awake at three in the morning.

They want to be more, they deserve to be more.

We can help them become more. We can help them get to 45,000.

It was difficult for young people around protected areas to get our ideas heard. Sometimes, we did not even know who to approach.​
​
Once that bridge was built, we could start showing what young people bring. At Makalia Falls, we noticed campers had nowhere to prepare food, so many slept elsewhere.​

Through Adopt A Park, we helped build a kitchen. Wardens later told us more visitors were choosing to camp at the site, improving the visitor experience and supporting park revenue.​
​
Through WWF Kenya’s partnership with Stand Up Shout Out, volunteer programmes, grants, capacity building and advocacy are helping young people access protected areas, work with park authorities and turn practical ideas into action.​
​
My context was one gap in Lake Nakuru. Yours may be somewhere else entirely. This International Youth Day, our common aspiration is young people are trusted and supported to build solutions for nature and communities.​

Getting a place at the table made us feel truly part of conservation in Tsavo.​​
​​
When drought emptied the dams and troughs, wildlife moved closer to communities in search of water. We helped bring water back into the park, creating safer drinking points and reducing human wildlife conflict.​​

WWF-Kenya’s partnership with Stand Up Shout Out (SUSO) gives young people access to volunteer opportunities, grants, training and advocacy platforms that help turn their ideas into action.​​
​​
My context was drought in Tsavo. Yours may be completely different. This International Youth Day, our common aspiration is for young people to be trusted and equipped to protect nature and their communities.​​

One of the biggest wins for me is seeing young people on the frontline of wildlife protection.​​

When we hear about poaching, we can speak to our friends and communities before the problem grows. Through Adopt A Park, we also work with women whose influence reaches homes and entire communities.​​

With support from WWF-Kenya and Stand Up Shout Out through volunteering, grants, capacity building and advocacy, more young people can turn that influence into action.​​

My context lives beyond the park boundary, where everyday conversations can change choices. Yours may be a classroom, neighbourhood, online group or home.​​

This International Youth Day, our contexts may differ, but our aspiration is shared: young voices shaping a future where wildlife and communities thrive.​​

Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.​​

In 2013, I walked from Nairobi National Museum to KWS Headquarters with 3,000 young people calling for justice for wildlife and an end to illegal wildlife trade.​

That march grew into action across five national parks, from restoration and firefighting to drought response and policy advocacy. ​
​
In Kigali, we brought together more than 70 young people from 22 African countries to help shape a youth declaration. The journey later carried me into the KWS boardroom as its youngest board member.​

Through WWF-Kenya’s partnership with Stand Up Shout Out (SUSO), volunteer programmes, grants, capacity building and advocacy are helping more young people turn their voices into action.​

My context began on a Nairobi street. Yours may begin somewhere completely different. This International Youth Day, our common aspiration is clear: young people need support to shape the conservation decisions being made today.​

That brings World Lion Day to a close.

We took over the WWF-Kenya account, introduced ourselves properly, an ICEA LION GROUP showed up loud and proud. One pride member spotted, plenty of room on the rock for more.

Now I have to do something a lion finds physically painful, which is hand over the mantle.

Tomorrow the elephants have this account.

I am eight kilometres of noise and a very good jawline. They are fifty years of memory and a route map nobody wrote down. I win arguments by volume.

They win them by remembering every word.

They are also collared.

Be kind to them tomorrow.

Signed, the pride, signing off.

Partnerships are at the heart of lasting conservation impact.

WWF-Kenya CEO Jackson Kiplagat recently met with H.E. Issa Timamy, Governor of Lamu County, to reflect on the strong partnership between WWF-Kenya and the Lamu County Government, and to explore new opportunities to create a more resilient future for people and nature.

Together, we have supported initiatives that are making a real difference in communities across Lamu County. These include the restoration of Lake Kenyatta, the Pangani Water Pan, which has improved access to water and reduced conflict during drought periods, and the establishment of a multi-agency Emergency Operations Centre in partnership with the Kenya Red Cross Society to strengthen disaster preparedness and response.

The meeting also explored opportunities to advance community-led tourism through the completion of the Shaka La Siyu boardwalk and restaurant, support young people with blue economy skills through the planned Maritime Training Institute, and collaborate on the Lamu Arboretum and upcoming cultural initiatives.

Conservation succeeds when communities, government, civil society and development partners work together towards a shared vision. WWF-Kenya is proud to help bring these partnerships together, creating solutions that protect nature while supporting livelihoods and building resilience to climate change.

We look forward to continuing this journey with the County Government of Lamu, local communities and partners, including exploring opportunities for collaboration with others committed to a thriving and resilient Kenyan coast.

Every community deserves reliable access to clean water, and the launch of the solar-powered borehole in Toniok, Eldama Ravine shows what is possible when long-term partnerships are focused on lasting impact.

For decades, this borehole served the community but rising energy costs and frequent breakdowns made access to water increasingly unreliable. Through support from the Embassy of the Netherlands in Kenya, WWF-Kenya upgraded the system by replacing diesel with solar power, installing new solar pumping equipment, and expanding storage capacity with two 10,000-litre water tanks.

The result is a more reliable, sustainable water supply that now serves 2,500 people, while supporting schools, health facilities, households, and livestock.

Our CEO, Jackson Kiplagat, was privileged to join H.E. Henk Jan Bakker, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Kenya, Eng. Felix Maiyo, Deputy Governor of Baringo County, and the Toniok community during the official handover of the solar-powered borehole this week.
