Company Description

Kenya Wildlife Service

Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is a state corporation mandated to conserve and manage Kenya’s wildlife, and to enforce relevant Wildlife Conservation and Management Act (WCMA, 2013) laws for the Kenyan people and the world.

There are a plethora of challenges facing wildlife and biodiversity conservation in Kenya, such as climate change, habitat degradation and loss, forest depletion, tourism market volatility, changing land use, human-wildlife conflict brought on by population growth, and wildlife crime.

Some of the work that KWS does to tackle these challenges includes: 

  • Protecting and managing national parks, reserves, sanctuaries, and marine parks, where wildlife can thrive in their natural habitats.
