Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Kenya’s wildlife is unfortunately under serious pressure from poaching, habitat loss and encroachment.  The Born Free Kenya team, based in Nairobi, oversee a number of important projects aimed at conserving habitats, protecting wildlife and working with the communities that live beside wildlife areas.  

According to a report by Agatsiva in 2004, Kenya’s wildlife population declined by 40-60% between 1977 and 1994 .  This massive decline is estimated to be even higher now, due to the rampant illegal bushmeat trade, excision of forests, and widespread encroachment into parks and reserves for human settlement.
