The Laikipia Conservancies Association is a member-led organisation established in 2019 with the goal of bringing together conservancies in Laikipia to address common challenges and amplify our individual impacts. As one of the most important wildlife areas in Kenya, the future of Laikipia as a conservation landscape depends on conservancies. These institutions form a diverse mosaic, with different land tenure, governance, and management models, yet are aligned through recognition that a collaborative vision and management approach is critical to the future of conservancies as the core of a broader conservation landscape that supports people and wildlife

Vision: A connected and well-managed Laikipia landscape that conserves nature and improves people’s lives.

Mission: To support and strengthen Laikipia conservancies.
