From Degradation to Renewal: How WWF-Kenya, Voices for Climate-Just Action Project Is Rewriting Kiborgoch’s Story.
Just a few years ago, Kiborgoch Community Wildlife & Wetland Conservancy faced degraded landscapes, invasive Prosopis (mathenge), unreliable water sources, rising human–wildlife conflict, and communities struggling under the impacts of climate change. Poor land management and prolonged drought had weakened ecosystems, livelihoods, biodiversity, and cultural heritage.
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.
