We are in the process of setting up a wildlife conservancy on their parcel of land that neighbors Oloruka , Olesayieti, Olorgesailie hills with the aim of conserving Wildlife species, tourism and education. The proposed project is expected to attract many people including members of the local community, schools,institutions, NGO,CBOs, local and international tourists. The proposed Wildlife Conservancy Park is aimed Baboons, guinea fowl, Elands ,Zebras, Impala ,Mountain Reed buck,Oryx , Vulturine guinea fowls,Crested guinea fowls. Reptiles Park e.g Rhinoceros horned viper,Gabon viper,Puff adder,Green bush viper,Prickly bush viper,African rock Python , ,Forest cobra,Tree snakes,Chameleons,Monitor lizard,Tortoise,y reforestation of indigenous trees and a botanical garden. To date certain facilities necessary for the running of the project are available at the proposed project site.They include the main entrance (gate),the reception and store area,Curio shop,toilets for ladies and gents,water tank ,primate cages,reptile pits. The proposed project expected impacts include but not limited to: Creation of a wildlife park/conservancy in Enkusero Sampu and around the hills (Oloruka,Olesayietiand Olorgesalie).. environmental awareness raising on wildlife significance in the ecosystem Creation of at least 300 employment opportunities tothe youth both directly and indirectly. Establishment of a research centre to be used by learning institutions and leading researchers both national and international. Promotion /marketing of tourism in the Southern Region circuit. Increase in biodiversity as result of the offspring`s back in Enkusero Sampu ,that is introducing Moringa tree and replace the uprooted east African sandalwood trees. Setting up indigenous tree nursery for replanting back into the forest. Establishment of a wildlife rehabilitation /rescue centre that would serve the entire southern region. Making the conservancy a good destination for Nairobi especially from the UN agencies and Nairobi environs

3.  Individual and local communities’ participation and partnership in
management and conservation of natural resources is a key focal area in
modern natural resource management.
 Deliberate efforts by both conservation institutions and communities towards
this goal do abound in a few areas in Kenya, encouraging more such
efforts.
 However, for a conservancy to be successful and sustainable, a number of
prerequisites have to be met prior to establishment.
 Using a Conservancy Development & Sustainability Tool (CDS) based on
past successful projects in Kenya, ESC data was collected and analyzed
using a combination of direct interviews with the owner/community and field
observations and mapping.
 GIS overlay analyses were performed on field data using ESRI’S ArcGis9.3
desktop applications to obtain various required information which was then
subjected to the CDS tool.
 Results showed that out of the 3485 Ha of the ESC, dense shrub land
vegetation is covering 1,393 Ha (39.4 % ) of the conservancy), followed by
Scrub land at 829 Ha (27.4 %); Open Shrub land vegetation covering 816
Ha (18.5 %); and wooded shrub land at 447 Ha (14.7%).
 Main land use was pastoralism where a variety of livestock such as cattle,
sheep, goats and donkeys are kept.

4.  ESC scored well on the feasibility study tool showing that it is feasible.
The overall weighted mean score was 80.55% which was variously
distributed amongst the evaluated major pre- requisite categories.
Feasibility study recommend :
 capacity building on conservation entrepreneurship as the best next
step to be taken in order to guarantee success and sustainability.
 capacity building on proposal development and targeting of global
adaptation funds, carbon financing and alternative green energies and
technologies.
 creation of more watering points within the conservancy to attract and
sustain various animals during the dry seasons
 Enhanced and urgent efforts in the conservation and preservation of the
African sandal wood (Osyris lanceolata) which is under significant threat
 construction of access roads, motor able tracks and foot trails which can
be used for patrols and monitoring activities.

6. Aimed at responding to the Community livelihoods and Environmental
Conservation needs of Enkusero Sampu Community by implementing three
unique and tailored packages of services.

Capacity Building Package
Based on developing the community
conservation and entrepreneurship Capacities
as well as increased access to education
Conservation/Livelihoods
Package
Targets multiple clients aimed at concerted
conservation that integrates community
livelihoods development, including: eco-
tourism, research, CBETEs,
Partnerships Building
Package
Initiation and formalization of strategic
partnerships and linkages to leverage

8. Community Mobilization
• Started by developing the ESC concept based on other Kenyan
Experiences: An Integrated community conservation and livelihood
model
• Sharing idea with few land owners, then mobilized several more
through the first “converts”
• Scaling up from initial 15 to currently 30 land owners
• Strategic partnership with relevant Government agencies and other
resource partners
Project Formalization
• Project concept grounding resource mobilization and feasibility study
• Detailed proposal development
• Strategic partners development
• Pilot Phase implementation
• Project Scale up.

9. Performance on the feasibility evaluation tool
 results of the mean scores as scored by four evaluators including
one the conservancy managers.
 ESC scored well on evaluation criterion and is a feasible idea;
overall weighted mean score was 80.55% variously distributed
amongst the evaluated major pre- requisite categories as indicated
in table below:
Pre-requisite Category
Weighted Score
%
Definition of Conservation area and identification 86.3
Products & Market Identification 87.5
Tourism attractions 57.5
Conservation value 55.6
Support 60
Tourism Potential 100
Potential Economic Benefit to local community 50
Total average score 80.6

10.  ESC has met much of the prerequisites for establishing a conservancy
and is fit to be registered as a conservancy.
 Needs enhancement of the entrepreneurial capacity as the best next
step to be taken in order for the conservancy to succeed and be
sustainable, including:
 Capacity to identify unique and profitable enterprises through;
innovation, research and business/ enterprise consultant.
 Possible additional enterprises: 1) Proposals targeted at Global
adaptation funding, 2) Exploration of carbon Financing and 3)
Exploration of alternative green energy and technologies
 Create more watering points to attract and sustain more animals in dry
season such as Elands, lesser kudu, gerenuks, Leopards, zebras and
other ungulate population.
 Enhance efforts in the conservation and preservation of the African
sandal wood (Osyris lanceolata) which is significant and at verge of
complete disappearance if the current threat escalates.
 Construction of access roads, motor able tracks and foot trails for use in
patrols and monitoring activities.
