Kibodo Trust

"Kibodo Trust is a community conservation and development trust that encompasses three National Reserves of Kenya, the Kiunga Marine National Reserve, which is bordered inland by the Boni and Dodori National Reserves on Kenya’s north east coast (and hence the name Kibodo!). They contain some of Kenya’s pristine and least documented coastal forest habitats and species, and least understood communities whose livelihoods are solely dependent upon their natural resources...

"Tusk provided the initial seed funding to make this project a reality. In addition the Trust through the Rufford Maurice Laing Foundation funded the recruitment and training of the community game scouts and provided a vehicle with generous support from the Dulverton Trust. More importantly Tusk’s initial funding and support has helped Kibodo to attract a significant grant from USAID to develop Kibodo’s capacity. "
