Area Coverage

At present there are more than 160 conservancies in Kenya that cover approximately 10% of the country's terrestrial land surface area and draw memberships from a total of 707, 460 local households (world bank Report 2020).
Most of the conservancies were established on lands adjacent to statutory protected areas in arid and semi-arid ecosystems where poverty levels are relatively high. Samburu Landscapes Conservation area is a host of ten such Conservancies, most of which were established recently starting in the 2000s

These community conservancies include mainly those within Samburu County, and some from the neighboring counties like Isiolo and Marsabit.

The more than 10 community wildlife conservancies within the Samburu Landscapes area DO NOT comprise the Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo springs National Reserve and Shaba national Reserve which have Direct Govenment Support
