WWCLA works with community conservancies across Wajir County.
WWCLA works with eight community conservancies across Wajir County. These conservancies are spread across two key landscapes: the River Ewaso Nyiro landscape and the Lake Bor landscape. The River Ewaso Nyiro landscape includes Lorian Swamp, Hadado, Dagahley, and Shidley. The Lake Bor landscape includes Bute, Qalkacha, Griftu Eldas, Dela, Diif, and Dadajabula. Each conservancy plays an important role in protecting local ecosystems, supporting eco-friendly livelihoods, and strengthening community-led conservation.
A vast expanse of savannah grassland that provides forage for livestock, wildlife, and local communities. This landscape supports gazelles, Somali ostriches, and migratory bird species. Guided tours and birdwatching create eco-tourism opportunities while also promoting environmental awareness among residents and visitors.
This landscape includes scrublands and woodlands that support giraffes, lions, leopards, gazelles, dik-diks, warthogs, and jackals. The wider landscape also offers opportunities for riverbank infiltration and supports conservation work connected to traditional medicinal plants, herbal knowledge, and the cultural heritage of Wajir communities.
