Our Campaign Restore an Old Migratory Route for Elephants

This project will fence a corridor through private land. The fence will be game-proof and electrified, and a safe corridor will be created linking existing fences on the Mount Kenya National Reserve boundary up to the Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve boundary fence.

There are two roads which will each require a game crossing, preferably through and underpass to enable elephants to pass beneath the roads. The corridor will provide a safe passage to animals while at the same time confining them and protecting the adjacent private farms though which the animals traditionally pass.

The formation of a corridor through to the Ngare Ndare Forest will strengthen the protection of these areas and help to create a more continuous protected zone to strengthen conservation in the area.

The corridor will provide protection for a significant population of the African Elephant, ensuring genetic diversity and freedom of movement within natural migration zones, and reduce human / wildlife conflict in the area.
