Abstract
The Naibunga Conservancy Trust (NCT) is a community initiative collectively owned and managed by nine group ranches in Laikipia North district (Kenya). The group ranches have set aside 43,000 acres of land as a conservation area. This one-page newsletter provides an overview of the benefits of the project and lessons-learned. Conservation has supported education and medical care, improved access to water, preservation of medicinal plants, improved grazing management plans, income generating activities through women’s empowerment, and greater awareness of the importance of conservation, as well as capacity building for the community through exposure tours.
