Under the wildlife management and conservation act 2013 It indicates that the local communities residing in or the conservancy are permitted to conserve wildlife on their land as an income generating activity .Since the 70's the number of wildlife in Kenya has declined by 70 percent and with a sudden rise in conservancies in Kenya since 2005 where there were 1,461,204 hectares under conservation just 10 year later the number has X6 to 6,311,087 hectares under conservation . 11 percent of Kenya's land mass is under conservancies

Funding that goes to conservation plays a key role in providing incentives and supporting livelihoods for landowners and communities who host wildlife on their lands through employment, land leases, social infrastructure, nature based enterprises etc



A conservancy is an area managed by an individual landowner, corporation , group or a community for purposes of protecting natural resources .In Kenya there are four different types of Conservancy mainly community conservancy ,Group Conservancy ,Private conservancy and co -managed conservancy .

Currently, landowners largely bear the costs of conserving wildlife on their property. The cost is manifested, for example, through competition between livestock and wildlife for pasture and water.

The absence or freeze of such funding, as has been witnessed with the changing in international funding policies, can have significant impact on the conservation sector.

Without the necessary funding, there is a likelihood that other competing land uses like agriculture and real estate may start to look more appealing to the owners than conservation. The result is more fencing, land fragmentation and clearing which will slowly push wildlife to the periphery of survival.
