Over 75% of wildlife in Kenya today are found outside of protected areas. While this has obvious implications for the long-term survival of viable wildlife populations in scattered parks and reserves, what it less obvious, but possibly more important, are the implications for pastoral people currently living with wildlife. One of the central concepts underlying The Lolldaiga Institute and its activities is that both conservation and poverty alleviation are best achieved through a synergistic process of integration rather than segregation and polarization. We believe that the future of biodiversity conservation and pastoral systems in Kenya lie in the coexistence of wildlife, livestock and people.
