Conservation for the Community, with the Community
Forget fortresses and fences. LUMO works hand-in-hand with local communities to build a future where people and wildlife coexist. LUMO understands that successful conservation hinges on community buy-in. That’s why we leverage powerful partnerships to implement innovative socio-economic programs. These programs go beyond basic needs, creating incentives that turn community members into passionate conservation advocates.
our work
Improved health, brighter smiles
Healthcare
LUMO Conservancy goes beyond protecting wildlife; it’s dedicated to the well-being of the entire ecosystem, including the people who call this land home. That’s why LUMO, in partnership with Community & Wildlife Conservation and the Ol Malaika Trust, organizes free dental and medical clinics every year.
Dental and medical care can be expensive and out of reach for many rural communities. These clinics provide essential services, improving overall health and well-being.
Educating the Future, Empowering Change
Education
LUMO Conservancy believes that education is the key to a sustainable future, both for wildlife and communities. That’s why, courtesy of our partners Community & Wildlife Conservation and Sunworld Safaris, LUMO offers life-changing high-school and college education scholarships.
These scholarships are more than just financial aid; they’re an investment in the future. By empowering young minds, LUMO cultivates a generation of passionate conservation leaders.
Informed communities, empowered conservationists
We understand that true conservation success hinges on a united front. That’s why we are dedicated to sensitizing more community members to join their efforts. LUMO isn’t just protecting wildlife; we are building a conservation family – a community where everyone plays a vital role.
Grassroots Mobilization
Inclusivity
In 2023, LUMO Conservancy took a significant step towards a sustainable future with their Youth Registration Campaign. This groundbreaking initiative, made possible by the ongoing BIOPAMA project, aimed to address a crucial gap in ranch membership: the under-representation of youth.
LUMO recognizes that young people are the stewards of tomorrow’s environment. This campaign wasn’t just about recruiting members; it was about empowering a new generation of conservation leaders.
Youth Forum
Inclusivity
LUMO Conservancy continued to break new ground in community-driven conservation with the establishment of the Conservancy Youth Forum in 2023. This dynamic platform provides a powerful voice for young people, fostering dialogue and empowering them to contribute directly to LUMO’s vital conservation efforts.
The Youth Forum isn’t just a token gesture; it’s a genuine commitment to youth leadership. LUMO recognizes the energy, creativity, and fresh perspectives that young people bring to the table. The forum provides a space for these ideas to flourish.
Conservancy Women's Forum
Inclusivity
LUMO Conservancy’s commitment to inclusive conservation took another leap forward with the establishment of the Conservancy Women’s Forum in 2023. This groundbreaking initiative recognizes the critical role women play in safeguarding the environment and empowers them to become active participants in LUMO’s success.
For too long, the voices and contributions of women in conservation efforts have been underrepresented. The Women’s Forum shatters this barrier, creating a powerful platform for dialogue, collaboration, and leadership.
