Welcome to our February edition of Wildlife Tracks. This month, we pay tribute to the fallen heroes who dedicated their lives to protecting wildlife. We also share our latest program updates, our Wildlife Warriors TV series updates, local news updates to protect wildlife and their habitats and how you can be part of creating a generation of courageous wildlife warriors.

The opportunity for securing wildlife and the migratory corridors is narrowing and now more than ever we need your help. This campaign will help raise public awareness about the importance of these critical migratory paths, encourage public action and set the foundation for talks on the gazettement of wildlife corridors. Give a gift today and help change the future of wildlife for the better.

In this edition of Wildlife Tracks, we share a sneak peek of what’s to come on Wildlife Warriors Season Two, the highlights from “My Wild Africa” series, and our continued role in creating awareness about the importance of protecting our wildlife and protected areas.

In this edition of Wildlife Tracks, we share with you our continued efforts to secure the future of Nairobi National Park and highlights from “My Wild Africa” films that premiered on Citizen TV in mid-May. We also share with you a snippet of our 2019 activities as well as showcase photos from nature enthusiasts across the country who participated in season one of the Nature’s Treasures Photo Competition.

Welcome to the 2019 Annual Report. In 2019, WildlifeDirect continued to be at the forefront of changing hearts, minds and laws to ensure Africa's critical species endure forever.

Under the banner of Conservation Alliance of Kenya, over 200 people came together from June 12-14 to address the question, “how can we ensure the management plan commits to protecting the unique, immeasurable ecological value and potential of the park for the public in Nairobi and beyond?”

This week, the Wildlife Warriors Nature's Treasures Photo Competition on the theme Nature in the backyard or city received 131 photos from 55 different photographers. Among this, the junior entry received 11 beautiful photos from 5 young photographers.  The judges noted that the quality of photos submitted is getting much better.

Wildlife Tracks latest updates in the midst of COVID-19. We invite you to continue making contributions towards conservation to enable us to support rangers in the field, communities who live with wildlife that might be affected by conflict tor coronavirus and to respond to any emergencies that will emerge during this very difficult period.

Many people are shocked, as I am, by the approval given to hold two large-scale public events in Hell’s Gate National Park later this year. The Koroga Love Festival, on 14–15 February, and the East African leg of the World Rally Championship, programmed for July, will attract thousands of people to the Park for activities that are unconnected with wildlife conservation.

Historically, most African wildlife films have been produced by Westerners for Western audiences. Paula Kahumbu, a Kenyan wildlife conservationist, is working to change that. She is the CEO of the nonprofit WildlifeDirect, which produces a documentary series featuring African storytellers such as herself telling the stories of African conservation heroes.
