The Kipsaina Crane and Wetlands Conservation Group (KCWCG) formed in 1990 as a partnership of local communities to conserve and restore the Saiwa Swamp National Park in Kenya. Through protecting and restoring wetland areas, this initiative has ensured that neighboring communities have access to a reliable and clean source of water year round.
In 2006, Kipsaina won the Equator Prize which is awarded biennially to recognize outstanding community efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. This video was created as part of our Biodiversity for Local Livelihoods project.
