The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) is a local membership organization of community conservancies in northern and coastal Kenya that builds peace and improves livelihoods through conservation. Formed in 2004 by the Lewa Conservancy with support from USAID, NRT brings together local pastoralist land owners and the Government of Kenya to promote the long-term conservation of wildlife in Kenya’s northern rangelands and coastal region. At present, NRT oversees 395 community-owned and managed conservancies covering nearly 425,000 square kilometers. NRT works to improve the lives and livelihoods of more than 620,000 residents from 185 different ethnic groups spread over eleven counties in one of Kenya’s major wildlife migration corridors. The Resilient Community Conservancies Program (RCCP) is a five-year (2015-2019) comprehensive program designed to scale up support to NRT’s existing community conservancies in northern and coastal Kenya and strategically support new conservancies.
