Wildlife Protection and Rewilding

Keeping the Wild Alive.
Restoring What’s Been Lost.

Suyian Conservancy protects one of Kenya’s most important wildlife corridors, home to more than 100 mammal species — including elephants, Grevy’s zebra, cheetahs, wild dogs, and the rare black leopard.

Our ranger teams, smart monitoring, and habitat restoration efforts are helping wildlife return and ecosystems heal — laying the groundwork for the reintroduction of black rhinos by 2028.

The Challenge

Fragmenting Landscape in Need of Protection

Shrinking habitats, human–wildlife conflict, and climate change threaten Africa’s great ecosystems.
Suyian sits at the heart of a corridor linking northern Kenya to the greater Laikipia landscape — a lifeline for migrating elephants and endangered species.
If this corridor disappears, we lose one of East Africa’s most biodiverse regions. 

what we’re protecting

Landscape of Rare Wildlife and Vital Ecosystems

  • 100+ mammal species including Grevy’s zebra, wild dog, and cheetah.
  • Elephant migration corridors along the Ewaso Narok River
  • Five distinct habitat types supporting 325 bird species and 700+ plants
  • Future rhino sanctuary habitat now under restoration

how we do it

Our Field-Proven Approach to Protection

  • Rangers & Patrols: 40+ rangers protect wildlife and deter illegal activity
  • EarthRanger System: Tracks movements and threats in real time
  • Aerial Surveys: Annual wildlife counts to guide management decisions
  • Habitat Restoration: Removing invasive plants and reseeding grasslands
  • Rhino Readiness: Fencing, water systems, and vegetation mapping underway

Why it matters

When wildlife thrives, so do ecosystems and communities.

Protecting keystone species safeguards biodiversity, stores carbon, and sustains livelihoods: proving that coexistence is the foundation of resilience.
