Welcome to
Nareto Conservancy
Rooted in community. United in purpose. Nareto Conservancy is a Community-led, Owned and Managed organization based in Laikipia County, Northern Kenya. The people who have shared this land with wildlife around them for generations are its rightful stewards, not spectators to decisions made about it elsewhere.
We work at the meeting point of wildlife protection, land restoration, water security, and community livelihoods, because in Laikipia none of these stand alone. A ranger patrol protects wildlife. A beehive protects a household's income. A borehole protects both people and the animals that share their water. Every program here is designed with the community members who live on this land, not delivered to them from outside.
Two pillars. One shared future.
When communities thrive,
conservation thrives.
01 / Protecting our landscape
Conservation
Protecting the species, land, and water that this landscape depends on.
02 / Strengthening our people
Community
Building livelihoods and leadership so conservation pays for itself in the ways that matter most: income, dignity, and a future worth staying for.

Community voices
Conservation starts with knowing the land and listening to the people who use it. Community scouts need both to guide their work.Rotich MamaiHead of conservation scout
