Reclaiming Degraded Ecosystem: Reviving Kiborgoch Conservancy Future
Once a thriving mosaic of wetlands, grasslands, and wildlife, Kiborgoch Wildlife and Wetland Conservancy had, over the years, begun to lose its ecological vibrancy. Invasive species- most notably Prosopis juliflora– slowly choked out native vegetation, while unchecked degradation left sections of the land bare, eroded, and unable to support the biodiversity and livelihoods that once defined it.
Exciting Milestone at Kiborgoch Conservancy!
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.
