Sinibo Geosite Conservancy, with its 300 dedicated members, was established to protect and conserve the rich natural resources of the community. This initiative aims to attract both local and international tourism through its remarkable geological site. The conservancy's mission is to become a center of excellence in geological research, offering valuable services both locally and globally.
At the heart of Sinibo lies a key geological site, home to an array of fascinating fossils remains including the Lokichard molar, mammal bone shaft, molar fragment, hippopotamus molar, antelope bovid, rhino premolar, and giraffe hooves, among many other small animal fossils. These ancient treasures serve as a powerful reminder of the site's historical significance and are vital to ongoing scientific research and education.
The conservancy plays a crucial role as a wildlife corridor, facilitating the migration of elephants, lions, antelopes, and rhinos to the Kamnorok National Reserve in Laikipia. To ensure harmonious coexistence between wildlife, humans, and the environment, Sinibo Geosite Conservancy is actively engaging in community advocacy and education.
In addition to its conservation efforts, the conservancy is reclaiming productive land by constructing gabions, and terraces, and planting cover crops for soil and water conservation. Economic activities such as beekeeping and the restoration of indigenous trees, which provide nectar for increased honey production, are also being pursued to support the local economy.
Plans for the conservancy include the establishment of a campsite for visitors to the geological site, offering a unique opportunity to experience the natural beauty and historical significance of the area. The team is working tirelessly to restore the land hosting the geological site, which has suffered from rainwater erosion and land degradation.
Sinibo Geosite Conservancy has garnered significant support from BCCA and the County Government of Baringo-Tourism Department.
We invite you to visit Sinibo Geosite Conservancy and witness the incredible archaeological site that we are striving to conserve for future generations and scientific research.
