The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) is a ground-breaking and visionary membership organisation that develops resilient community conservancies that transform lives, secure peace, and conserve natural resources.
Starting from nine community conservancies in northern Kenya in 2004, NRT currently supports 45 member community conservancies, with a presence not that has extended to coastal Kenya and Uganda. Through NRT member community conservancies, hundreds of thousands of people are involved in conservation. NRT assists its members with conservancy management, training and fundraising, and also monitors performance to provide oversight and quality assurance.
NRT member community conservancies have expanded the area where wildlife can safely roam and breed and are providing protection across more than 15 million acres of habitat to over a dozen endangered species, including the hirola, the rarest antelope in the world.

How Tusk works with Our Project Partners
We provide critical funding to enable our project partners to grow and increase their impact on habitat and wildlife, while also enabling, nurturing and supporting collaboration between them, for greater synergy and impact.
We help to increase awareness and wider support for our partners’ efforts, while also sharing important conservation messages, from the vital and varied roles of wildlife rangers, to the benefits of community-driven conservation, both within Africa and internationally.
Northern Rangelands Trust has been a Tusk partner since 2008.
