The Il Ngwesi Group Ranch is reducing local poverty and conserving biodiversity through promotion of ecotourism and establishment of a community owned trust responsible for local land management.
The ranch itself is a collectively owned initiative of 499 local households that incorporates an exclusive ecotourism lodge and a locally-led committee responsible for land and resource management.
The trust limits poaching through community patrols and leading efforts to sustainably manage local resources.
The trust has helped to secure a more certain future for wildlife on Il Ngwesi and neighboring reserves.
By adopting a collaborative approach to resource management, Il Ngwesi has achieved remarkable success in promoting local livelihoods without compromising the integrity of the natural environment.
