About Us
A movement of hope, heritage, and healing for people and the planet.
Conservation Voice is grassroots, not-for-profit initiative based in Northern Kenya. Our mission is to inform, inspire, and empower local communities to champion environmental conservation, safeguard cultural heritage, defend community land rights, and promote socio-economic justice and good governance. At the core of our work is a belief that conservation must be locally led, culturally rooted, and deeply participatory. Founded by over 200 indigenous professionals and community members who grew up with wildlife and pastoralist traditions, Conservation Voice works to build resilient ecosystems and empowered communities. We recognize that the future of conservation depends on those who share their daily lives with nature—people with the knowledge, responsibility, and ability to preserve it for generations. We align our efforts with Kenya’s National Wildlife Strategy 2030, Article 69 of the Constitution, and the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act (2013), advocating for ecosystems that are healthy, inclusive, and community-governed.
Our Focus Areas
Environmental education, awareness and ecosystem restoration- Human-wildlife conflict mitigation

Our Unique Approach
We believe in conservation through culture. Conservation Voice uses storytelling, plays, drama, poetry, and music as powerful tools to pass knowledge, preserve indigenous wisdom, and spark emotional connections with nature. These creative expressions help communities—especially youth—understand environmental issues in familiar, memorable, and transformative ways. Through the Green Schools Initiative, we partner with schools across Samburu and Marsabit, counties to integrate conservation into everyday learning. School clubs and competitions foster curiosity, innovation, and environmental responsibility among children, empowering them to become lifelong stewards of nature. Activities include tree nurseries, recycling projects, wildlife education, and participation in the Mazingira Championship—a sporting and environmental celebration.
