Nature Kenya is the business name (in Kenya) of the East Africa Natural History Society. The Society was established in 1909 and is the oldest conservation organisation in Africa.
The aim of Nature Kenya is to promote the study and conservation of the natural environment, in Eastern Africa.
The 'headline' mission of Nature Kenya in Kenya is :
"Connecting nature and people"
In pursuing this mission, Nature Kenya strives to:
- build a strong constituency for conservation across the country
- enhance knowledge of Kenya's biological diversity
- advocate for policies favourable to biodiversity conservation
- promote conservation of key species, sites, and habitats
The Nature Kenya conservation programme promotes sound management and sustainable utilisation of natural resources at important biodiversity sites.
Membership is open to anyone interested in nature. Nature Kenya members come from all over Kenya and the world, and from a great diversity of backgrounds and professions. Many play an active role in our programmes - and receive a monthly newsletter and many other benefits. If you care about conservation, why not join us today!
Nature Kenya (the EANHS) is the BirdLife International Partner in Kenya, and its day-to-day business is delegated to a small highly professional core staff and contracted project staff headed by an Executive Director. The staff and the Society membership and volunteers at the national and local levels implement the Society strategic plan.
