Nature Kenya—the East Africa Natural History Society (EANHS)—is Africa’s oldest environmental Society, established in 1909 to promote the study and conservation of nature in eastern Africa. They remain a non-political and not for profit membership Society.

Nature Kenya strives to:

• Advance knowledge of Kenya’s biodiversity
• Promote conservation of key species, sites, and habitats
• Encourage community participation in conservation through capacity building and promotion of sustainable benefits
• Advocate policies favorable to biodiversity conservation

To achieve this, in 2015 to 2020 Nature Kenya will focus on four pillars:

• Save Species;
• Conserve Sites and Habitats;
• Encourage Ecological Sustainability; and
• Empower people to support nature.

Nature Kenya’s strategic pillars are based on the premise that nature is our life support system, critical for people’s wellbeing and quality of life. Saving nature is not a choice but an obligation.
