Abstract
A proposed community conservancy offers the potential to earn income from both tourism and sustainable agriculture and to diversify livelihoods through community-based management. The Naibunga Conservancy Trust (Kenya) borders both Meru National Park and the Bisan Adhi Game Reserve. There are approximately 600 people of the Boran ethnic group in Gubadida village who practice agro-pastoralism. The community of Gubadida has developed a plan for creating the Borana Wilderness Conservancy, adjacent to the Bishan Adhi Game Reserve. Members of the community are prepared to share resources with game and wildlife and believe that they should be the ones who manage the conservancy.
