EarthAcre Biodiversity Assets:
Protect and Restore Critical Ecosystems
At EarthAcre, our mission is to advance nature stewardship by amplifying community knowledge with technology. Our biodiversity assets represent a collaborative approach to conservation and restoration, with direct and transparent benefits to local communities in order to preserve biodiversity hotspots for generations to come.
Flagship projects located in indigenous-owned ecosystems in Kenya
Ol Kinyei
Preserving the Loita migration in the Mara ecosystem
Spanning approximately 15,000 acres and home to hundreds of indigenous landowners, Ol Kinyei plays a crucial role in preserving the Loita Migration, one of Kenya's most iconic wildlife migrations. Through strategic partnerships and community engagement, EarthAcre is leading initiatives to safeguard this vital migration route.
By removing barriers and de-fencing corridors, EarthAcre is creating a safe passage for migratory species, preserving their natural movements, and revitalizing important nutrient cycles for the landscape.
Selenkay
Restoring Balance within the Amboseli ecosystem
In partnership with the Africa Conservation Centre (ACC) and Gamewatchers Safaris, EarthAcre is engaged in a transformative journey within the Selenkay ecosystem. Nestled in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, this site was once a battleground for wildlife survival. Through innovative conservation strategies, we've witnessed a remarkable resurgence in biodiversity, including the restoration of habitat for over 200 elephants and a flourishing lion population. Unfortunately, recent land subdivision and a lack of direct income to landowners provides a new threat to this ecosystem.
Through biodiversity assets, EarthAcre is working to make long-term nature stewardship an economically viable choice for individuals within the local community, and ensure intact ecosystems for generations to come.
Naretunoi
Connecting Nairobi National Park to the greater Athi Kapiti landscape
The Naretunoi project, located on the outskirts of Nairobi—one of the fastest-growing cities in the world—plays a crucial role in connecting Nairobi National Park to the greater Athi-Kapiti landscape. Renowned as the only park within a major city where one can see lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, and more, Nairobi National Park is fenced on three sides. Its open southern boundary allows migrating wildlife to move between the park and the adjacent Kitengela plains. This critical, indigenous-owned corridor, Naretunoi, is the only access for animals to move in and out of the park. EarthAcre is dedicated to keeping this vital area open, ensuring the park's wildlife can continue to thrive despite rapid urban growth.
