The local communities play a vital role in the effective, long-term success of land and natural resources management.

Focus Areas

The TTWCA Livelihoods programme focuses on ensuring that the local community derives direct livelihood benefits from conservation-related enterprises across the Tsavo landscape. 

The programme supports the local community to design and implement ecotourism enterprises on a scale that delivers environmental and social-economic benefits, while protecting the biodiversity of the landscape.

In addition to tourism-based enterprises, including culture tourism, the Livelihoods Programme also supports the community to grow nature-based enterprises such as, beekeeping, vermiculture, aloe vera farming, establishing tree nurseries, and sisal farming.
