A partnership of Ewaso Lions and Grevy’s Zebra Trust
Lions and Grevy’s zebra in northern Kenya are due to face unprecedented impacts of linear infrastructure due to the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor, which will cut across the region over the next decade. There is a critical window of opportunity to mainstream ecological sustainability into LAPSSET upfront such that Kenya is held up as a global example of best practice.
Through this project, taking a collaborative and coalition building approach, Ewaso Lions, in concert with the Grevy’s Zebra Trust, intend to safeguard lion and Grevy’s zebra corridors and movement in northern Kenya, ensure community and non-governmental participation in the decision making process as the infrastructure is designed and built, and monitor and mitigate the impacts of the LAPSSET project to harmonise infrastructure development with ecosystems.
