Wildlife-based eco-tourism brings in some $400 million as foreign exchange to Kenya - 30% of the country's total. But these wild assets are threatened - from land subdivision, farming, and poaching. Despite these threats, the economic value of this "natural capital" has not been quantified clearly enough in areas where it can do the most good - in communities that are making decisions about land use. Our programs are aimed at improving local understanding of the value of wildlife - now, and for future generations. Photo: Destination Africa Safaris
