This event aims to promote sustainable conservation, with all proceeds dedicated to the restoration of the Menengai Crater forest.
Menengai Crater is the second-largest caldera in the world, and over the years, we have observed significant forest degradation due to human activities like deforestation and farming, resulting in the loss of indigenous trees in the area.
Baboon Project Kenya, champions of wildlife and environmental justice, successfully submitted a petition and achieved a significant ruling on September 26, 2024. The Environment and Land Court intervened to stop the Nakuru County Government from disposing of untreated sewage and toxic waste into Lake Nakuru.
Lake Nakuru is recognized as an International Bird Area, boasting more than 400 bird species. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Ramsar site. Additionally, it serves as a habitat for endangered black rhinos and various other wildlife species, creating a stunning ecosystem that relies on the lake's waters for survival.

In response to the ongoing drought that has caused significant wildlife mortality at Lake Nakuru National Park, we have initiated several environmental conservation projects to mitigate the impact of these recurring dry spells. Our efforts involve drilling three boreholes and setting up eco-friendly solar-powered water pumps to support both the wildlife and park rangers. Additionally, we are enhancing water troughs to capture rainwater for wildlife use during the dry season and harnessing water from natural springs, which is then distributed through piping to various troughs throughout the park.
