| Partnering with local and national organizations, and people is
vital to achieving long-term conservation success. Our partners in
the field will multiply as the project grows. Investment in people
is both necessary to make conservation efforts sustainable, and indeed
truly important, because it empowers those most directly affected.
Ultimately, an adaptive, hands-on approach should mutually benefit
both people and wildlife. To date, the African Wild Dog Conservancy
is developing partnerships with a number of organizations. |

| Kenya
Wildlife Service (KWS): Our affiliate organization, the
KWS, recently opened local offices in the region. KWS is providing
logistical support and coordinating field operations.

| WomanKind
Kenya (Wokike):
Wokike is a non-governmental organization founded in 1989
by local Kenyan Somali pastoral women in the Northeastern Province.
It exists to empower the most vulnerable members of the community,
specifically women, destitute girls, and poor households in
the Ijara, Garissa, and Wajir Districts, by improving the standard
of living through capacity building, thus enabling these members
to take control of their lives. The organization seeks to bring
together the local community, and to confront ignorance, disease,
poor livestock husbandry, environmental degradation, and poverty. |
| Qalesa
Environmental Conservation (QEC): Under the umbrella
of Wokike, QEC is a newly formed community-based organization
(CBO) committed to halting environmental degradation, conserving
endangered wildlife, and improving the livelihoods of communities.
