The Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (“KWCA”, “we”, “us”) is the national membership body representing community and private conservancies in Kenya. These terms of use govern your access to and use of this website. Please read them before using the site.
By browsing, searching or otherwise using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
This website exists to explain KWCA’s work, to support the conservancies in our network, and to make our evidence and resources publicly available. Through it you can, among other things, learn about conservancies and our programmes, apply for membership, find grant opportunities and browse the grants database, download publications and reports, explore conservancy maps, see open opportunities and events, and contact the secretariat.
The site is provided for information and for these purposes. Nothing on it is legal, financial, veterinary, ecological or other professional advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for advice appropriate to your own circumstances.
You may use this site for lawful purposes only. In particular, you agree not to:
We may suspend or restrict access to the site, in whole or in part, where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.
Where you submit information to us — a membership application, a grant concept, an enquiry, a newsletter signup or an application for an advertised opportunity — you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, that it is yours to provide, and that you have the authority of any conservancy or organisation on whose behalf you are acting.
Submitting a membership application or a funding concept does not create any obligation on KWCA to accept it. Membership is subject to the applicable criteria, fees and approval process, and grant decisions are made under the terms of the relevant funding window.
We handle the personal data in your submission in line with our privacy policy.
Unless stated otherwise, the content of this site — text, reports, data, maps, graphics, photographs, logos and layout — is owned by KWCA or used by us under licence, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.
You are welcome to read, download and print our publications and reports for your own use, and to quote or cite them, provided you do not alter them and you credit KWCA as the source. Conservancies, partners, researchers, students and journalists are encouraged to use our evidence in this way.
You must not republish our content commercially, present it as your own, or remove any attribution, and you must not use the KWCA name, logo or marks without our written permission. If you would like to use our material more extensively, or reproduce photography, please contact the secretariat — we would rather say yes to a request than find work used without credit.
Photographs on this site are used with the permission of the photographers, conservancies and communities pictured, and may be subject to separate licence terms. They must not be extracted and reused without our written permission.
Some material on the site is contributed by or reproduced from partners and member conservancies. Rights in that material remain with its owners.
We take care to keep the information on this site accurate and current, and much of it — conservancy records, membership numbers, maps and area figures, grant listings, events and open opportunities — changes over time or is supplied to us by third parties.
We therefore cannot warrant that everything on the site is complete, accurate or up to date at any given moment. Mapping and spatial data are indicative and are not a determination of boundaries, tenure or ownership. Closing dates, funding windows and event details should always be confirmed against the source document or the organiser before you rely on them.
If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell us and we will correct it.
This site links to websites operated by other organisations — including our donation platform, partner and member conservancy sites, the Conservancy Rangers Association, event organisers and funders. Those links are provided for convenience and do not imply that we endorse the organisation or everything on its site.
We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, their availability, or how they handle your personal data. Their own terms and privacy policies will apply once you leave this site.
Donations made through this site are processed by Paystack on its own secure checkout. We never see or store your full card or mobile-money credentials. Donations support KWCA’s work with Kenya’s conservancies and, unless a specific appeal says otherwise, are not restricted to a particular programme.
If you believe a donation has been made in error, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do what we reasonably can to help.
We aim to keep this site available and working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The site may be unavailable during maintenance, or because of faults or events outside our control. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site, including any tool, database or download, without notice.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
Subject to that, KWCA is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website, or from reliance on any content on it — including any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss arising from decisions taken on the basis of information published here.
This site is aimed at users in Kenya. If you access it from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with your local laws.
How we collect, use and protect personal data — and your rights under the Data Protection Act, 2019 — are set out in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
We may update these terms as our work, our tools or the law change. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of this website, are governed by the laws of Kenya and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Kenyan courts.
