World Cleanup Day 2026 Our Impact
2 TONNES OF WASTE REMOVED FROM THE ENVIRONMENT!
On Friday, 18 September 2026, The Wildlife Foundation brought together community members and conservation partners for a cleanup at Empakasi River as part of our World Cleanup Day activities.
Together, we removed approximately 2 tonnes of waste, including plastic bottles, rubber, old tyres, garments, glass, shoes and other discarded materials.
This was more than just a cleanup. It was a direct action to create a cleaner, safer environment for wildlife and the communities that share this landscape. 🦓🦒🌱
We are grateful to our partners MAS Mara and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) for supporting this important conservation effort. 🤝
Every bottle picked up.
Every tyre removed.
Every bag of waste collected.
Every action counts. 💚
🌍 Together for a cleaner, greener wildlife home.

Cultural Bridges, Bigger Than Ever! 🇺🇸🇭🇰🇰🇪

This year's AFS student visit to Kenya just got bigger welcoming students from the US and Hong Kong for an unforgettable cultural immersion!

For 3 days, our foreign students didn't just visit Maasai homes they lived the experience:
🏡 Homestays with Maasai families
📜 Learning about rites of passage & traditions
🌿 Discovering the wisdom of traditional herbs & medicine
💃 Dressed in traditional Maasai attire and dancing alongside their hosts!

This is what cultural exchange should look like not observing from a distance, but stepping into another way of life with open hearts and open minds.

Huge thanks to the Maasai families who opened their homes and shared their heritage so generously.

Yesterday, we kicked off something powerful at the Kitengela Conservation Area.

In partnership with JRS Biodiversity Foundation, EarthAcre, and the National Museums of Kenya, community members gathered for a hands-on biodiversity training learning to document and monitor the wildlife right on their doorstep using citizen science tools.

From plants 🌱 to birds 🦅 to mammals 🐾 participants are now equipped to record, collect, and contribute biodiversity data that feeds directly into national and global databases like GBIF.

This is what community-led conservation looks like.

Celebrating World Biodiversity Day.

Today, as we marked the World Biodiversity Day, we celebrated the incredible variety of life that sustains our planet from wildlife and forests to grasslands, wetlands, and the countless species that call them home.

At The Wildlife Foundation, we joined the global community in raising awareness about the importance of conserving biodiversity and protecting ecosystems for future generations.

Through sharing biodiversity stories, showcasing wildlife and habitat conservation efforts, and encouraging environmental stewardship, we reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding nature.

Biodiversity is not just about protecting wildlife, it is about securing a healthy future for people and the planet.

Together, let us continue working towards a world where nature thrives.
