Conserving elephants through education for sustainable development
Education and Advocacy has
been practiced globally and has received a stand in the sustainable,
environmental and conservation arena. The late Laureate Prof. Wangari Mathai
(Environmentalist), Mahtama Gandhi, among other key people, have used it in
raising awareness that lead in policy formulation in development sectors.
Elephant Neighbors Center,
under the leadership of Jim Justus Nyamu, has been in the forefront in
promoting this philosophy of advocacy in the country and beyond through
education and campaign walks dubbed “ Ivory belongs to Elephants” advocating
for elephant conservation, using elephants as a key stone and a flag species.
Between 2013- 2015, ENC,
through Jim Justus Nyamu, started the grass-root education campaign walk
raising awareness on the plight of the African Elephant (Loxodonta Africana). This campaign focuses on reminding communities
about elephant conservation, the elephant values, the role of communities in
conservation and highlighting the new Wildlife Conservation and Management Act
2013. I have now walked 5001km in different counties involving various high
powered dignitaries in different sectors such as H.E the First Lady Mrs.
Margaret Kenyatta, Cabinet Secretary to the Ministry of Environment Water and
Natural Resources Prof Judy Wakhungu, Agt Director General KWS and KFS,
Internationally the following persons have participated in this walk: i.e. Senator Michael J.Barret (Massachusetts in USA), President of
International Funds for Animal Welfare
(IFAW) Mr. Azzedine Downes, Will Trevers of Born Free Foundation UK
amongst others. Additionally this campaign walk offers an opportunity among the
conservation agencies to recognize and implement solutions that may aid them to
overcome the underlying environmental, conservation, social and development
challenges in order to achieve their blueprint mission.
