Involvement of Local Communities in Conservation and Management Plan of Mt. Kenya Natural Reserve and World Heritage Site.
The Kenya Wildlife Service is in the process of developing a Management Plan for the Mt. Kenya National Reserve, because one does not exist for the entire ecosystem. The National Reserve is currently managed district by district. The Kenya Forests Working Group (KFWG), a national NGO, will be given a grant to mobilize the communities around Mt. Kenya and hold workshops. At these workshops,which will be held in the 5 districts around the mountain, particpants will discuss the threats and challenges contributing to resource degradation, and provide recommendations on how to improve Management of the Park, including forging partnerships with the Protected Area authorities. It is expected that the community views collected at the workshops will be integrated in the Management Plan, and thereafter offset a process of establishing modalities to effect the recommendations.
