Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a U.S. registered nonprofit organization established to support Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Located at the foothills of Mt. Kenya, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy serves as a catalyst and model for community-based conservation, working closely with neighboring communities and partner NGOs to ensure a sustainable future for both people and Kenya's iconic wildlife. Lewa serves as a safe refuge for the critically endangered black rhino and the endangered Grevy’s zebra, as well as the elephant, lion, giraffe, wild dog and other threatened wildlife species in Kenya. Lewa envisions a future where people value, protect and benefit from wildlife. This future depends on communities being able to derive their day-to-day livelihoods in ways that are compatible with thriving wildlife habitat. As a result, Lewa invests heavily in the livelihoods of its neighbors through programs in education, healthcare, clean water access, microenterprise, youth empowerment, sustainable agriculture and more. Lewa has combined the techniques of world-class anti-poaching operations, including cutting edge monitoring technology, with the engagement of the surrounding communities as critical partners in conservation.
