Grevy's Zebra Trust

About

GZT works with women, elders, warriors, youth and children from the Samburu, Turkana and Rendille ethnic groups. Together, we monitor trends in Grevy’s zebra populations; we increase conservation awareness and foster positive attitudes towards the species and its habitat; we provide protection for Grevy’s zebra and other wildlife threatened by illegal killing; we restore and improve habitat for Grevy’s zebra, other wildlife, and community livelihoods; we further peaceful coexistence and cooperation between local communities by promoting indigenous institutions; we support secondary school education for pastoral children; and we help Grevy’s zebra survive during times of environmental stress. Many of our actions also protect other important wildlife species in Northern Kenya. We incorporate human and wildlife interests in all our programs, thus strengthening the customary ties that already exist. In order to maximise the success of our programs, coordination and close collaboration with partner organisations working in Grevy's zebra conservation is a priority.
