"Kenyan conservation will not work unless we spend time with the people, understanding their aspirations, pain, and disappointments." Dr.Winnie Kiiru, founder of CHD conservation Kenya.

Mentorship becomes powerful when advice turns into practical experience. 📸 Through our boys’ mentorship in Amboseli, youth are building hands-on skills like photography and storytelling to become active participants in conservation.

Long before modern pharmacies existed, our native trees were already providing trusted health remedies. Propagating indigenous medicinal tree seedlings keeps traditional knowledge alive while restoring fragile habitats. Get seedlings for your farm: Call +254 736 38 90 44.

Coexisting with elephants in Amboseli Community wisdom keeps families safe while keeping wildlife corridors open. What coexistence methods have you seen work best? #CHDConservationKenya #Amboseli #ElephantCoexistence #HumanWildlifeConflict #ProtectWildlife #EmpowerCommunities

Some of the most important work in Amboseli happens almost unnoticed. 🐝 As bees pollinate wild plants & crops, they keep our rangelands alive. Through our apiculture programme, local women earn income from honey while protecting pollinator habitats. #SaveTheBees #Amboseli

Known for its striking crimson blooms, the Nandi Flame is far more than a beautiful tree, it restores soils & strengthens landscapes. Take action today: Buy a seedling for your garden Donate a tree to our school greening program Click the link below to donate! #CHDConservation

Across Amboseli, women have long used beadwork & crafts to support their families. Matching those skills with training & market access builds resilient livelihoods that reduce pressure on natural resources. #CHDConservation #Amboseli #MaasaiWomen #Livelihoods #Kenya

Coexistence isn't a theory, it's daily work on the ground in Amboseli 🐘 How does your community share space with nature? #CHDConservation #Amboseli #Coexistence

Meet the aardvark, nature's underground architect. Its deep burrows create climate-controlled shelters for warthogs, hyenas & birds. In Maasai belief, spotting one brings long life! Click the link in bio to donate & support our wildlife research #CHDConservation #Amboseli

Naisula, our resident duiker, takes full advantage of this shelter, built thanks to logs secured from our tree nursery. PDF When we nurture trees, we aren't just greening the land—we’re building safe, shared spaces for local wildlife. #chdconservationkenya #peoplecentered

Sustainable action doesn't come from rules it comes from local knowledge. By empowering communities across Amboseli with practical environmental skills, we are building a future where people and wildlife thrive together. #CHDConservationKenya #ConservationEducation #Amboseli

A month of growing seedlings, restoring nature, engaging young people and strengthening community-led conservation across Amboseli. Every small action adds to something bigger: communities empowered to care for the environment they call home. #CHDConservationKenya #Amboseli

Practical, hands-on learning is an important part of our youth programs at CHD Conservation Kenya. Reading tracks, feeding signs, and field indicators teaches young people how to understand wildlife movement and foster true human-wildlife coexistence. #PeopleCenteredConservation

In 2023, a day-old duiker wandered onto our grounds, alone and vulnerable. We named her Naisula ("champion"). Today she roams the open ecosystem freely, stopping by only when she wants to rest. #Amboseli #WildlifeConservation #Kenya

Zebras are the ultimate lawnmowers of Amboseli! By eating the tough top grass, they clear the way for smaller wildlife to reach the good stuff underneath. Fun fact: Their stripes are unique like fingerprints & help keep biting flies off them! #Amboseli #CHDConservationKenya

Nature speaks to those who listen.Every sound from wildlife in the brush to pastoralists and their herds tells a story of shared life and balance. Pause and listen to the landscape today. Protect the land. Protect our future. #CHDConservationKenya #SoundsInConservation #Amboseli
