Indigenous people and local communities have made enormous contributions to conservation. @WWF_Kenya has been working closely with local communities on climate change adaptation and to amplify their voices on climate action. Here is what Martha Lekitoney Ntoipo, a resident of Nasaru-Olosho Conservancy - an important wildlife corridor in Kajiado, had to say about the role of indigenous and local communities in climate change financing.

In line with achieving zero poaching of rhinos in Kenya, WWF-Kenya in partnership with the @KWSKenya this week trained 19 senior rangers on non-lethal enforcement procedures. The rangers come from KWS Ruma National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, @KWSTsavoWest, @KWSNairobiPark, Ol Jogi and @OlPejeta. The trained rangers are set to train over 400 other rangers in their respective sites across the six rhino conservation areas.

This initiative is funded by the US Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs through the Giving Rangers Technology, Tools, and Training to Counter Wildlife Trafficking in Kenya Project (GRTTT-K). 600 rangers in the six conservation sites will receive personal and team equipment to support their work. In addition, Solio Game Reserve will get thermal imaging cameras to bolster anti-poaching work.

With over 300,000 people in Nakuru County depending on its water for survival, River Njoro Basin is one of the most important water sources for the county and its residents.
The river, like many others in Kenya, currently faces serious threats from human-driven activities, climate change impact, destruction of catchment and riparian areas, poor land use practices in the upper catchment, sand harvesting, and effluent discharge from industries and buildings. As a result, the water levels and quality have declined, especially downstream where plastic pollution is also evident.
But WWF-Kenya is leading the rehabilitation of the basin through the Integrated River Njoro Catchment Management for Enhanced Ecosystem Services and Livelihoods (NESEEL) project.
