A bold five-year roadmap to reverse wildlife decline, restore Kenya’s ecosystems, and secure a thriving natural heritage for generations to come.

Kenya’s wildlife faces a convergence of pressures that demand urgent, coordinated action. The KWS Strategic Plan 2024–2028 is our response.

Wildlife populations across Kenya have declined steadily over the past five decades. Poaching, habitat fragmentation, human-wildlife conflict, and the accelerating impacts of climate change have placed iconic species and entire ecosystems under threat. At the same time, the wildlife economy remains vastly underexploited, and communities who live alongside wildlife have yet to fully share in its value.

Built on five strategic goals, seven key result areas, twenty-four strategic objectives, and eighty-nine targeted strategies, this plan sets out the priorities, investments, and actions that will define this critical period for Kenya’s natural heritage.

The abridged KWS Strategic Plan 2024–2028 sets out the complete framework, strategic objectives, key performance indicators, and financial requirements for Kenya’s wildlife conservation over the next five years.
