Abstract This National Wildlife Strategy is a 5-year nationwide cross-sectoral document aiming at providing an overarching framework that prioritizes, coordinates, and inspires participation for the transformation of the wildlife sector in Kenya. The Strategy prescribes principles, objectives, standards, indicators, procedures and incentives for the protection, conservation, and management of wildlife resources. It identified four core pillars, made up of seven goals, supported by 21 strategies, and 70 priority activities. The four Pillars include (1) resilient ecosystems in order to protect ecosystems and species through a reduction of human-wildlife conflict and promoting coexistence; (2) engagement by all Kenyans in embracing their role in wildlife conservation through collaborative initiatives including incentive programs that enhance access to benefits; (3) evidence-based decision making, developing evidence based decision support tools and promoting the data sharing, use, and integrated cross sectoral and multi-scale planning; and (4) sustainability and Governance in order to ensure coordination, effective implementation, and sustainability.
