Conserving Natural Resources in Kenya
The Kenya Country Office was established in July 2009 and has been in operation for three years to date.
WWF has been involved in active conservation work in Kenya since 1962, beginning with the conservation of the Black Rhino and later (in 1973) raising money through WWF Netherlands for the purchase of private land around Lake Nakuru to allow for the enlargement of Lake Nakuru National Park for the conservation of flamingoes and create potential for the conservation of other key species. This potential was fully realized in 1987 when the park was declared the first Rhino Sanctuary in Kenya complete with an electric fence and the first 17 rhinos captured and translocated to Nakuru.
WWF Kenya Country Office (WWF-KCO) was established in July 2009 after the merging of the former Eastern African and Southern African Regional Offices into a single Eastern & Southern Africa Regional Programme Office - ESARPO, thereby establishing country offices in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique.
Currently, WWF-KCO is carrying out activities in the following areas:

WWF Kenya Country Office
This country office falls under WWF's Eastern & Southern Africa Regional Programme Office (ESARPO) that helps coordinate activities in Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
WWF has been involved in active conservation work in eastern and southern Africa since 1962, beginning with the purchase of land in Nakuru (Kenya) to allow for the establishment of an enlarged park to help support the conservation of the flamingos of Lake Nakuru
The first black rhino sanctuary in Kenya was set up in Lake Nakuru National Park at the height of rhino poaching in Kenya (1970s to 1980s).
Eastern and Southern Africa contains some of the world’s most unique and spectacular bio-diversity. It is home to critical places (Coastal East Africa, Africa Rift Lakes, Miombo and the Namib-Karoo) and key flagship species (Great Apes, African Elephant, African Rhinos and Marine Turtles).
