Summary
Our project addresses the need to strengthen the capacity of rangers in Kenya's protected and conserved areas, particularly considering escalating human-wildlife conflicts. The goal is to improve skills, competence, and overall effectiveness of rangers and scouts whilst prioritizing their safety. This will be achieved through a comprehensive revision of the national ranger curriculum, integrating newly developed training modules to elevate capabilities of rangers. Improved capacity of Kenya’s ranger workforce will enable the country to work towards its national conservation targets.
