Under the Inclusive Conservation Initiative (ICI)—a groundbreaking Global Environment Facility-funded program empowering Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs and LCs) to lead the stewardship of vital landscapes, seascapes, and biodiversity hotspots—IMPACT Kenya has pioneered transformative efforts in the Mid-Ewaso Ng’iro River Basin, where ancestral knowledge intersects with modern conservation to secure communal land rights, foster sustainable livelihoods, and nurture resilient ecosystems amid escalating climate challenges. As a key Indigenous-led partner in this global paradigm shift, IMPACT Kenya harnesses ICI resources to amplify the voices, values, and priorities of pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities, driving self-determined strategies that blend cultural heritage with innovative governance, gender equity, and direct access to finance. The knowledge products featured in this section—ranging from in-depth reports and impact strategies to toolkits on tenure security and ecosystem monitoring—distill these frontline insights, offering actionable guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and fellow Indigenous organizations worldwide to replicate rights-based, community-centered conservation models that honor the profound role of IPs and LCs in safeguarding our planet's irreplaceable natural wealth.
