On 29th August 2024, BCCA joined in to celebrate a significant milestone for Kiborgoch Wildlife Conservancy in Loboi, Baringo South when they welcomed the contractor to the conservancy for the much-anticipated construction of a 50,000m³ water pan. This project, which is set to transform the landscape, was officially handed over by the State Department of Tourism and Wildlife, alongside the leadership of Kiborgoch, the Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA), local administrators, and the Warden of Lake Bogoria.
This project is the result of a strong partnership between the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, the Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (KWCA), and BCCA, who recognized the pressing need for this initiative.
The water pan will not only provide a reliable water source for wildlife populations like zebras, reedbucks, hippopotamuses, water bucks, warthogs, ostriches, and various bird species, but also for livestock populations such as cattle, sheep, and goats in three locations during the dry season. It will also play a crucial role in increasing climate change resilience and reducing human-wildlife conflicts, which is a major concern in the region.
BCCA would like to express gratitude to the State Department for Tourism and Wildlife on behalf of Kiborgoch Wildlife Conservancy. The support for the construction of the water pan will have a significant impact, ensuring the thriving of wildlife in Kiborgoch, sustainable livestock, and making the conservancy an even more vibrant destination for ecotourism.
