Projects initiated through the Trust will help to improve livelihoods and at the same time preserve
cherished traditions, a rich culture and an outstanding environment.

The Milgis ecosystem is an exciting part of the world in every aspect and we have an opportunity to conserve it. The Samburu and the Rendille people have lived in harmony with nature for many hundreds of years. However, with the rapid increases in their population and subsequently in the numbers of livestock, the demand for natural resources has understandably grown at the same rate. By working closely with the local Chiefs and Elders, the Milgis Trust’s primary objective is to address these issues, and find solutions before it is too late. Projects initiated through the Trust will help to improve livelihoods and at the same time preserve cherished traditions, a rich culture and an outstanding environment. Through building local capacity to manage natural resources sustainably and through awareness and education, the Milgis fauna and flora, some of it very rare, will receive local recognition as an asset to the people’s future.
