Public-private fencing at Eburu
Neighbours around Eburu wanted elephants out of shambas without cutting the forest off from corridors toward Lake Naivasha.
The challenge
Neighbours around Eburu wanted elephants out of shambas without cutting the forest off from corridors toward Lake Naivasha.
What Rhino Ark is doing
A 43 km electrified ring went up in 2014 with deliberate gaps for connectivity, built by KWS crews and local labour under a public-private partnership with the Eburu Community Forest Association.
People
Hon. Keriako Tobiko marked the commissioning as proof that communities, agencies and donors can share one finished project. CFA members still co-manage access points.
“The commissioning of the Mau Eburu Electric Fence is a great example of the success and impact Public-Private Partnerships can bring to communities. I commend Rhino Ark on their continuous conservation efforts.”
