Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association work with 26 conservancies covering 361,127 Ha. Established in 2013, TTWCA works with ranches in Taita Taveta county. These ranches were organized as hunting blocks before independence and later converted to cattle ranches. Together, they formed the Taita Taveta Ranches Association registered in 2008. Poorly performing cattle ranches led to KWS engaging with land owners to conserve wildlife to enable income generation through tourism as well as livestock production.

KWS facilitated visits to conservancies in Laikipia and Samburu counties to benchmark development of conservancies. This led to the ranch owners resolving to convert their ranches to wildlife conservancies that support cattle ranching as well in 2012. With support from Kenya Land Conservation Trust, the ranchers developed a Constitution to govern the upcoming association of conservancies and in 2013 registered TTWCA. The conservancies are critical wildlife corridors between Tsavo East and West national parks.
