WWF-Kenya Coastal Kenya Landscape lies within the coastal Kenya region. It covers the geographic areas of Kwale-Kilifi and Lamu-Ijara-Tana Land and Seascapes,

Forest Conservation: Promotes sustainable forest management in Kwale-Kilifi and Lamu-Tana landscapes. We are working with Councils of Kaya Elders and Coastal Forests Conservation Unit of National Museums of Kenya to sustainably conserve the biodiversity-rich Mijikenda sacred Forests in Kwale and Kilifi Counties. We have supported gazettement of Kaya forests, development of a National Kaya Forests Management Plan and enlisting of Nine (9) Kaya forests as World Heritage Sites while ensuring that communities living adjacent to these forests benefit from them. We are also working to restore degraded mangrove forest sites while ensuring that communities benefit from these resources.

 

Marine Conservation: Focuses on sustainable fisheries, marine pollution control, and conservation of endangered species, particularly in Lamu-Tana-Kilifi seascape.

 

Freshwater Conservation: Targets water quality and quantity in Lake Kenyatta and River Mkurumudzi.

 

Clean Energy: Promotes the use of clean energy uptake in Kwale to reduce deforestation.

 

Community Empowerment: Builds capacity for natural resource governance and livelihood improvement.
