Citation: Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife (2018) National Wildlife Strategy 2030. Abridge Version. Blueprint to transform wildlife conservation in Kenya. Nairobi, Kenya.

Kenya holds an incredibly rich and unique flora and fauna that forms the wealth of species that contributes to the wellbeing of the Kenyan people, while attracting visitors to the country and contributing to economic growth. The Government is committed to the sustainable management of Kenya’s wildlife resources, so as to contribute to the development of the country and enhance the livelihoods of our

people. This Strategy encapsulates this commitment.

This National Wildlife Strategy 2030 has also re-engineered and redesigned the institutional architecture of the wildlife sector to ensure effective coordination, collaboration and synergy amongst the multiple state and non-state actors who

have different mandates, roles, capacities and resources.

The call to action is therefore to all these institutions to roll up their sleeves and implement the Strategy to secure the benefits of wildlife to all stakeholders for

current and future generations.

His Excellency Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, C.G.H.President and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces

At the heart of this Strategy is a call. An urgent call to all Kenyans to recognize and transform their roles as individuals and communities to take effective custodianship of our rich natural heritage.

This heritage of diverse landscapes, essential ecosystem services and natural resources is the foundation of our collective development – both now and into the future.

Action by ALL – national and county governments, private sector, communities, landowners, and individuals – is central to the success of the Strategy.

We must target threats and embrace opportunities for, and arising from, wildlife conservation and management.

Our future is in our hands. This strategy provides us with the roadmap to that future we desire. I welcome Kenyans of all walks to join hands in the delivery of wildlife management and conservation that will drive our economy and heritage forward.

This Strategy is a roadmap for transforming wildlife conservation in Kenya. The strategy is aligned to Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Government’s Big Four Agenda. It brings together the aspirations and concerns of Kenyans from across the country as part of a multi-stakeholder effort under the stewardship of the Ministry.The Strategy builds on past and present policies, practices, and reviews historical conservation. It highlights opportunities and innovative approaches to addressing emerging challenges facing wildlife in Kenya while ensuring benefits accrue to the millions of Kenyans who support wildlife on their land. The Strategy outlines a transformational vision for wildlife conservation by 2030, and identifies a clear set of five (5) year priority goals and strategies around four key pillars: Resilient ecosystems; Engagement by all Kenyans; Evidence based decision making and Sustainability & Governance. In addition to these targets, the Strategy establishes an implementation framework to enhance communication, coordination, and collaboration to inspire engagement and participation, and catalyze conservation actions with all stakeholders.I invite all Kenyans to join us in realizing our collective goal of securing our wildlife heritage for the benefit of all, both now and in the future - for this will drive our Tourism Blueprint, underpin our national aspirations and our sustiable development.

This visualization of the SDGs by the Stockholm Resilience Centre (credit: Azote Images) recognizes the essential role of a healthy environment in supporting sustainable development in Kenya and across the globe. This vision for development – where economic, social, and ecological development are interlinked and mutually supporting – is central to this National Wildlife Strategy 2030.

The National Wildlife Strategy 2030 outlines a vision for wildlife conservation as part of a strong environmental foundation for achieving Kenya’s sustainable development agenda as articulated by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the Wildlife Ac, 2013, and Vision 2030, and the Big 4 Agenda. These goals are also in line with, and support, international treaties and obligations such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the AICHI Targets, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The Sustainable Development Goals

“I have been asked in my address today to reflect on challenges for the 21st century as it affects conservation and protected areas. You may very well be a little curious to hear what an old man without a job, office, power or influence, and with his roots far in the past, is going to say about challenges for the future! The future is, after all, in the hands of the youth”.

Address by Nelson Mandela at the opening of the 5th World Parks Congress in 2003 in Durban, South Africa.


Kenya’s wildlife is healthy, resilient and valued by Kenyans

VISION


Why the National Wildlife Strategy 2030?

Our wildlife, and wildlife habitats, are an extremely important economic asset. They are central to our world-renowned tourism industry that attracts over one million tourists to our country every year. Our impressive network of protected areas and natural habitats support a diversity of wildlife and provide a rich array of natural resources and ecosystem services at the centre of people’s livelihoods and sustainable development.

Kenya ranks among the world’s top wildlife destinations. Its economy is largely nature-based unlike the industrialized nations. This natural capital, channeled through plants and animals, is the engine of our farming, ranching, fisheries, forestry, wildlife, and tourism industries. The ecological services biodiversity provides daily captures rainfall, regulates river flows, supplies nutrients for crops, fodder for livestock, controls erosion and cleans the air, water and soils we pollute. These services come free of charge, add billions of shillings to our local and national economy, and yet are ignored in our calculations of national economic output.

However, increasing human population pressure and poverty, habitat loss, rapid development in key wildlife areas, poaching, insecurity and over utilization has accelerated the decline of wildlife populations and habitat degredation. Further, all these factors undermine sustainable development.

There is an urgent need to address these threats and emerging challenges, to maintain Kenya’s role as a leader in wildlife conservation. Kenyans must protect the irreplaceably valuable natural resources on which the country’s sustainable development depends.

THE PURPOSE


Lilac-breasted roller Credit: Jacquie Mackenna

The purpose of the National Wildlife Strategy is to provide an overarching framework that prioritizes, coordinates, and inspires participation for the transformation of the wildlife sector in Kenya.

The strategy prescribes principles, objectives, standards, indicators, procedures and incentives for the protection, conservation, and management of wildlife resources.

Kenya has ecosystems that are unique and exceptional. However, all these ecosystems are threatened by degradation and intense

pressure from increasing human population, commercial and illegal use, climate change and unplanned infrastructure development.

In this strategy we used the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impacts, and Responses (DPSIR) framework to identify threats and develop responses. Pressures are the anthropogenic factors inducing environmental change. Impacts are changes in environmental functions affecting social, economic and environmental dimensions, which are caused by changes in the state of the system.

This strategy is a roadmap to addressing Kenya’s wildlife conservation needs. Building on broad consultations, including with counties, local communities, academia, youth, and the private sector, the Strategy highlights a set of seven (7) key goals for conservation success. These goals, and their associated strategies and activities, are designed to catalyze and consolidate our collective efforts to move us from our current state and downward trajectory, to our desired state where wildlife is healthy, resilient, and valued by all.



Pillar 1: Resilient Ecosystems

“The Natural resources of this country...its Wildlife which offers such an attraction to visitors from all over the world, the beautiful places where they Live, the Mighty Forests which guard the Water Catchment areas so vital to the Survival of Man and Beast-are a priceless heritage for the future. The Government of Kenya, fully realizing the value of its Natural Resources, pledges itself to conserve them for posterity with all the means at its disposal. We are confident of its co-operation of the other Governments of East Africa in this important task but, at present, we are unable, unaided, to provide the specialist staff and money which are necessary. We therefore invite other nations and lovers of nature throughout the world, to assist us in honoring this solemn pledge.”

The first President H.E. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta; On occasion of Kenya’s independence in 1963

THE PEOPLE


Lewa Runners SnakeCredit: Jeff Waweru


INNOVATION - C3ITY

Our success at large-scale transformation requires an intimate understanding of people’s culture, values and behavior. This goes beyond best strategic and tactical plans. Value of conservation and management of wildlife will only be realized through sustained, collective actions of individuals, community, organizations and the nation. The National Wildlife Strategy 2030 integrates five thematic areas to build this value: Cities, Counties, Communities, Innovation & Technology and Youth – C3ITY. These dynamic areas can play a critical role in the vision – Kenyans for Wildlife and Wildlife for Kenyans.

Cities Better urban sound environmental planning and management are needed to make the world’s urban spaces more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. These green spaces become incubators of biodiversity and functional recreational areas. The United Nations member-countries, in September 2015, adopted a historic standalone goal on sustainable cities. This strategy calls for better collaboration of the Ministry of Wildlife and Tourism, cities, experts (architects and engineers), UNEP, UN-HABITAT and Universities.

CountiesCounty planning is an integral part of the development process in Kenya. Every county is required by law to prepare a development plan in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution of Kenya for approval by the county assembly. Kenya’s wildlife is hosted across our 47 counties and the future of our wildlife therefore depends on the ability of the counties to integrate wildlife in their plans. The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) is a 5 year plan that’s informs the county’s annual budget; Each county also develops a 10 year County Spatial Plan which should be reviewed every 5 years. The Widlife strategy 2030 framework will engage counties to ensure that CIDPs reflect wildlife as a key resource that needs proper management for the counties to derive maximum benefit from wildlife

CommunitiesKey to this strategy are programs to embrace the capacities of local communities and for mutual benefit of both the communities and protected area managers. Local stakeholder engagement leads to adapted and more effective solutions (UN–Department of Economic and Social Affairs). Currently, Kenya has 160 conservancies covering over six million hectares (11% of Kenya’s land mass). These directly benefit over 700,000 households and directly employ over 4,500 conservancy employees.

Innovation & Technology A future for conservation of biodiversity in Kenya must be able provide access to biodiversity information and data. This strategy will establish a link between biodiversity conservation, information technology and the people (counties, communities and the youth). These resources can be accessed by all via the internet and other media to students, professionals, grass root organizations, NGOs and policy makers.

YouthYoung people are key agents for social change, economic growth (human resource) and technological innovation. In Kenya, 63% of the population is below the 24 years of age. This strategy will focus on educating, engaging and inspiring youth to become leaders of conservation through a number of activities as stipulated in this strategy under various goals. Engaging young people requires a well-planned strategy, targeting each segment with individual, relevant messages and rewards in terms of emotional, social or financial capital offered in exchange for interest and engagement.
