Our programs

Our work spans across key thematic areas designed to create lasting environmental and social impact:

  • Environmental Conservation & Restoration
  • School Eco-Green Program – Tree planting & school kitchen gardens
  • Sustainable agriculture and Livelihoods
  • Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
  • Environmental Education and Public Awareness

CONSERVATION & RESTORATION

We are committed to preserving biodiversity and reviving degraded landscapes. Our initiatives focus on restoring forests, rivers, and farmlands while empowering local communities to lead these efforts.

Through agroforestry, we support rural farmers to implement land-use systems that combine trees with crops and livestock—producing food, timber, fuel, and fodder while protecting the land. These systems improve soil health, increase crop yields, sequester carbon, and promote ecological balance.

By enabling community-driven restoration, we ensure that conservation is sustainable, inclusive, and deeply rooted in local knowledge.

COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

We strengthen grassroots communities by integrating climate-smart practices into their daily lives and livelihoods. Our programs in agroforestry, seedling production, and fruit orchards enhance food security, boost incomes, and promote environmental stewardship.

By supporting social enterprises and sustainable farming, we create pathways for long-term resilience and economic empowerment in rural Kenya.

AGROFORESTRY: NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR RURAL PROSPERITY

We provide training and tools to help farmers adopt agroforestry—combining trees with agriculture to rehabilitate the land and increase productivity. Farmers are guided on selecting the right tree species to enrich their farms, protect biodiversity, and generate income.

Agroforestry helps communities: Improve soil fertility and water retention Increase food and forage availability Develop sustainable sources of firewood and timber

Create alternative income streams

ECO-GREEN SCHOOL PROGRAM

Our Eco-Green Program cultivates the next generation of environmental stewards. We engage schoolchildren through hands-on tree planting, environmental education, and kitchen garden initiatives.

By instilling conservation values early, we nurture a generation that understands the importance of biodiversity and is equipped to lead a sustainable future.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & AWARENESS

True conservation begins with understanding. Many people degrade the environment not out of malice, but due to lack of awareness or limited alternatives.

We conduct: Public seminars & school workshops, Community sensitization forums, Awareness campaigns through media and printed materials. Our goal is to foster environmentally responsible citizens who value nature and are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to protect it.

WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT & GENDER EQUALITY

Women are at the heart of conservation and rural development. Yet they face systemic barriers to land ownership, resources, and decision-making. Save Nature from Extinction works to change that.

We: Promote women's leadership in conservation, Support women-led income-generating projects, Build skills in entrepreneurship, resource management, and climate-smart agriculture, Ensure gender equity and inclusion across all our programs. We believe that when women thrive, families and communities thrive. Their participation in restoration and sustainability efforts is critical to our collective future.

WHY GENDER MATTERS IN CONSERVATION

In Africa, women own just 1% of agricultural land and face limited access to farming inputs, financial services, and markets. Yet they are primary users of biodiversity—collecting food, fuel, seeds, and medicinal plants vital to household survival.

Bridging this gender gap unlocks powerful opportunities for conservation and community growth. We advocate for: Equal access to resources and land rights Inclusion of women in biodiversity-related decision-making Leveraging women’s unique knowledge to drive ecosystem-based solutions

Empowering women isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential for the success of conservation.
