Photo by @amivitale. Lkasanoi Leparkeri, a #Samburu from #Melako Conservancy in #Kenya was one of the warriors who came as part of an initiative by @NRT_Kenya to #Lewa Wildlife Conservancy for peace building initiatives. Getting these warriors more involved in conservation and grazing management, and tapping into their incredible knowledge of community politics is now a primary focus for @NRT_Kenya since they are also the people most often involved in ethnic conflict and cattle rustling. I followed the young warriors who visited @Lewa_Wildlife Conservancy last week back to their homes in Melako Conservancy, part of the Northern Rangelands Trust in Northern #Kenya.
Melako is a tough landscape and stretches towards the Ethiopian and Somali border. Rainfall is rare, as are permanent settlements and solid infrastructure. It is no wonder that there is ethnic conflict and cattle rustling here considering the conditions.The warriors are learning how conservation and grazing management can lead to healthier cattle, better grass and more wildlife. They were shown first hand how this can work in their own conservancies. The experience left them in awe.These communities hold the key to saving Africa's great animals.

The Northern Rangelands Trust works to develop resilient community conservancies which transform people’s lives, secure peace and conserve natural resources. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a globally renowned conservation organization that acts as a catalyst and model for conservation.
