Whichever, it is considered a peace-loving and kind animal and one heralding a year of promise and prosperity. We Homepage - Elephant Trust certainly hope the peace and kindness will win through for elephants. Support our Work Elatia Here in Kenya the New Year has started out with many positive initiatives made by individuals and groups. Because the international media tends to focus only a few well-known conservationists, it leads to a false impression that Kenyans are not concerned about their wildlife and habitats, but this is far from true. There are many grass-roots movements that make us proud to live in this country. In this issue we will be highlighting two Kenyan conservation heroes and some upcoming events in aid of wildlife. Amboseli continues to be peaceful. There were no elephants poached at all in the last quarter of 2014 thanks to our partners the Big Life Foundation, the Kenya Wildlife Service and the community with which the elephants share their range. In Kenya as a whole poaching has been reduced, but we are aware that the situation could reverse rapidly. The demand for ivory is stronger than ever and the price of ivory is very high leading to temptation and corruption. Elephants in many other countries in Africa are being wiped out.

  • How Can We Together Create a Generation of Wildlife Warriors in Kenya?
    HOW CAN WE TOGETHER CREATE A GENERATION OF WILDLIFE WARRIORS IN KENYA? An Open Space Event held at Brookhouse International School Sat 4th July 2015 Creating structure is not something we need to do. It happens all by itself.Harrison Owen What is Open Space Technology? The Wildlife Warriors event at Brookhouse School attracted nearly twice as many people as we expected. Though we targeted young people from Nairobi, grandparents, teachers, and many grown ups from all corners of the country including expatriates came. This revealed a surprising level of interest in citizen participation. It also confirmed that young people feel that their views about wildlife conservation are as important as those of adults. Hundreds of recommendations about creating a generation of Wildlife Warriors were generated which revealed some general findings. The participants said they: 1. Want more and guided educational visits to national parks to see and learn about animals in the wild not in cages. 2. Will be more interested in conservation and wildlife if it is entertaining (Drama and art) and involves technology, innovation and problem solving (Science Fair). 3. Do not want conservation to be required in their curriculum. They want creative, hands on and adventurous ways of learning. 4. Want free park entry for children below 12, underprivileged students, the physically and mentally challenged as well as aged people over 60. 5.
