Over the previous few months, our conservation training groups have been actively engaged in a sequence of impactful subject actions. From tree planting to wildlife sanctuary visits, the constructive results of those efforts have been felt, from the north of Kenya in Samburu to the south in Tsavo.
The journey started with a profession workshop for highschool graduates, held at STE’s Samburu analysis camp. Geared toward shaping the way forward for younger conservationists, this workshop was a cornerstone occasion for 21 enthusiastic graduates.

With an intention of fostering constructive attitudes and behaviors in the direction of elephants and wildlife, our group has been screening the documentary ‘The Secret Lifetime of Elephants’ – a BBC nature documentary sequence following the lives of elephants and the work of Save the Elephants – at numerous faculties in Samburu. This initiative has reached almost 1,000 college students, deepening their understanding and appreciation for elephants.
One other spotlight was an epic tree-planting initiative. In collaboration with Iderkesi and Girgir Major Faculties, college students have been inspired to ‘undertake a tree’ and plant their very personal ‘seedlings of hope.’ This effort led to the planting of over 100 timber on World Surroundings Day, marking a big step towards environmental conservation.

The group has been working intently with college students from Kileva, Mwambiti, Kajire, and Mchang’a major faculties, sparking their curiosity and keenness for wildlife conservation. These efforts are serving to college students develop a deeper understanding of their atmosphere and the unimaginable animals that inhabit it.

As these college students develop, we will solely hope that their dedication to conservation will develop in equal measures, making certain a brighter, extra sustainable future for all.
