Surrounded by local schools, Kuinet is evolving into an outdoor classroom where students learn about biodiversity, sustainable farming and conservation first-hand. Subsidised visits will keep access inclusive.
Semi-arid Kenya · Community-led conservation
Restoring land, empowering communities and protecting tomorrow.
Kuinet Conservancy is building a future where people, wildlife and the land thrive together — through habitat restoration, water access, education and sustainable livelihoods.
Impact in numbers
Early milestones on a long-term journey.
Kuinet is still a young conservancy, but the foundations are strong: jobs created, land secured, and community partnerships that are ready to scale with the right support.
Conservation rooted in community and resilience.
Kuinet Conservancy sits in a semi-arid region shaped by irregular rainfall and increasing climate pressure. Our response is simple but ambitious: restore ecosystems, secure water, and ensure local families and wildlife can thrive side by side.
Two boreholes and additional water points within the conservancy will ease water stress for households, livestock and wildlife, building resilience in a changing climate.
From farm workers to conservation staff and eco-tourism roles, Kuinet already supports over 200 jobs and is committed to training local residents in conservation management and climate-smart production.
