Community Conservation action and Site Support Groups:
Nature Kenya works with community groups called Site Support Groups (SSGs) in and around the top priority sites across the country- The Kinangop grasslands, Arabuko Sokoke Forest, Lake Victoria Papyrus Swamps, Kakamega Forest, Kikuyu Escarpment Forests, Mount Kenya and South Nandi Forest.

The monitoring of IBAs is an element within a wider framework for monitoring progress towards BirdLife International’s overall strategic objectives, which include the monitoring of specie’s, sites, habitats, and the socio-ecomic conditions of local communities living within and around IBA’s, in keeping with BirdLife International’s global strategy, whose themes are Species, Sites, Habitats and People.
