Ruko Community Conservancy - Brochure
Ruko Community Conservancy, nestled on the eastern shores of Lake Baringo in the heart of the Rift Valley, stands as a testament to how conservation can become a pathway to peace. Established in 2008, Ruko was born from the combined vision of the Njemps and Pokot communities, who embraced the idea of “conservation for peace” to foster resilient livelihoods, restore the richness of their land, and drive community-led development. Together, they forged a commitment to protect their homeland and revive its natural abundance. Historically, this land was a thriving habitat for diverse wildlife. Over time, however, illegal hunting and habitat destruction led to a near-vanishing of this ecosystem.
