Kenya Wildlife Service System Scale Expression of Interest
13-Dec-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | This national scale Expression of Interest primarily aims to: 1) secure wildlife migratory corridors and strengthen law enforcement which includes addressing poaching, encroachment and illegal trade problems as well as enhancing problem animal control units; 2) strengthen governance of the wildlife industry including community based wildlife conservation initiatives, sustainable management, policy direction, capacity-building initiatives and infrastructure in parks and reserves; and 3) attain financial sustainability. The financial sustainability of KWS will be addressed through strategies aimed at resource mobilization, diversification of revenue streams and growth as well as effective and efficient management of resources. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The primary objectives of the project are to: secure wildlife migratory corridors and strengthen law enforcement; improve the governance of the wildlife industry; attain financial sustainability and; maintain ecological integrity. |
| area impacted: | The amount requested covers existing parks and new wildlife migratory corridors to be secured. Most of the migratory corridors which are outside protected areas are some of the key breeding sites like the Mt. Kenya – Ngare Ndare and Nairobi-Amboseli corridors. Funds are needed for security operations, research and monitoring, translocations, infrastructure and other requirements inside the national parks. Further supports the endowment fund. This covers the entire country of Kenya, with 26 national parks, 10 marine parks and 28 national reserves and community sanctuaries. For a description of Kenya's conservation areas see Annex 1. |

MARINE PROTECTED AREAS STRENGTHENING PROJECT-KENYA
26-Oct-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | In addition to protecting coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Kenya have additional biodiversity attributes including; protecting the only remaining population of dugong in Kenya in the Kiunga MPA, protecting key feeding and breeding grounds for sea turtles in the Kiunga, Malindi-Watamu and Mombasa MPAs and protecting part of the largest mangrove forest on the Kenyan coast. Additional important attributes that have not been evaluated include carbon sequestration by coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, the potential for medicinal products and the recreational and aesthetic value of these areas. Although no country-wide geographical prioritization of biodiversity has been carried out in Kenya, the high dependence of coastal communities on marine resources, the importance of MPAs for tourism (the mainstay of the Kenyan economy), fisheries and biodiversity and other ecosystem services, and the serious threat of climate change on coral reefs and associated ecosystems increase the urgency for strengthening the management of Kenyan MPAs. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The overall objective of the project is to enhance biodiversity conservation of marine habitats and species, improve management of MPAs and support the development of initiatives that improve livelihoods of coastal communities. |
| area impacted: | The project will contribute significantly towards national priorities as laid out in the in Poverty Reduction Strategy, Vision 2030, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and natural resource policies including the Wildlife, ICZM, Fisheries and Ocean Policy, and Forest Policy amongst others. All these policies embody sustainable exploitation, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources, equitable sharing of benefits and empowerment of communities as important pillows of development. In addition, the new Constitution of Kenya reiterates the national responsibility for the environment under article 69 (1) (a). Most MPA's in Kenya also serve as critical carbon sinks and therefore could potentially participate in national REDDS strategies and action plans.
