In involving the community, conservation merits an effective approach in ingraining elements of traditional ways in its strategies, supporting livelihoods and protecting biodiversity. This approach has strengthened monitoring and management efforts at Kasigau Ranch.

Young men and women from various villages in Kasigau have supported wildlife protection at the ranch through enhancing a well-established relationship with the community members and herders inside the ranch.

This month, the team covered 22 patrol areas and following the efforts of the community, one case of poaching was reported where a man was arrested with dik-dik meat. The man will be prosecuted and that will serve as a deterrent to others in future.
