OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY
How do we protect the Apex species, such as elephants, who face habitat loss, poaching & the illegal wildlife trade?
Today more than ever it's crucial that conservation is centred on indigenous contribution & community.
Our focus is to aid efforts directly on the ground. To this end we’ve teamed up with the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, 10% of our profits go to support their work.
Sensitive to ‘colonial conservation’ they make huge efforts to be guided by the local indigenous community & farmers.
Amazingly Ol Pejeta are protecting the last two Northern white rhinos (2 females) & hopefully, with in vitro fertilisation efforts afoot, can save the species from extinction.
They have won conservationists of the year 2022 as a ROLE MODEL for conservation.
Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, & home to two of the world’s last remaining northern white rhinos.
It is the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, in a sanctuary established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market.
It has some of the highest predator densities in Kenya, and still manages a very successful livestock programme.
Ol Pejeta also seeks to support the people living around its borders, to ensure wildlife conservation translates to better education, healthcare and infrastructure for the next generation of wildlife guardians.

just 5 % of the worlds population
yet they protect 80 %
of the Earth's biodiversity ”
