Protecting habitat, supporting wildlife movement and improving the resilience of semi-arid landscapes require long-term planning and collaboration. We welcome partners who share our commitment to conservation, environmental responsibility and community participation.
Working Together
Working Together for a Healthier Tsavo Landscape
Conservation is a shared responsibility. Its impact is strengthened when knowledge, resources, expertise and commitment come together around common goals.
At Chalongo Conservancy, we believe lasting conservation requires collaboration, practical solutions and long-term investment in natural systems and communities.
Based in Marungu, within Kenya's Tsavo Ecosystem, Chalongo Conservancy values collaboration with established wildlife conservation organisations and institutions. Our current conservation partners include Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association (TTWCA) and Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (KWCA).
Our partnership priorities include protecting indigenous habitats, restoring degraded areas, conserving biodiversity, improving water security, promoting environmental education and exploring responsible eco-tourism.
We welcome organisations and individuals who can contribute expertise, resources, practical experience or a shared commitment to our conservation goals.

Where We Can Work Together
Our Partnership Priorities
We are developing opportunities for collaboration across six key areas. Each offers scope for practical partnerships, shared expertise and long-term conservation value.
01
Habitat Restoration
Our indigenous Commiphora–Acacia landscape is an important part of the wider Tsavo ecosystem. We seek collaboration that can strengthen habitat protection and support the restoration of degraded areas.
Potential areas of collaboration include indigenous tree propagation, habitat restoration, erosion control and environmental monitoring.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Conservation organisations
- Habitat restoration specialists
- Indigenous tree nurseries
- Environmental programmes
02
Water Security
Water security is an important consideration in our semi-arid landscape. We recognise the value of appropriate water infrastructure in supporting environmental management and conservation planning.
Potential areas for collaboration include water pans, boreholes, rainwater harvesting and water conveyance systems. These proposals would be subject to feasibility studies, technical assessments and the necessary approvals.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Water-sector organisations
- Water engineers and technical specialists
- Development agencies
- Technical institutions and funders
03
Biodiversity Research and Monitoring
Reliable ecological information helps us understand our natural environment and make informed conservation decisions.
We welcome opportunities for ecological surveys, research partnerships, species monitoring and biodiversity documentation. We are interested in working with institutions and specialists who can strengthen our knowledge of the landscape.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Universities and research institutions
- Conservation scientists
- Biodiversity specialists
- Relevant environmental authorities
04
Community Conservation and Environmental Education
We recognise the importance of community participation in building a stronger conservation culture. Environmental awareness and education can help create a deeper understanding of the value of natural resources.
We are interested in partnerships that support school engagement, indigenous tree conservation, environmental learning and appropriate local conservation initiatives.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Schools and educational institutions
- Community-based organisations
- Environmental educators
- NGOs and development partners
05
Responsible Eco-Tourism
We see responsible eco-tourism as a potential avenue for supporting conservation, environmental learning and sustainable local opportunities.
Approximately 10 acres have been earmarked for phased eco-tourism, accommodation and educational infrastructure development.
Concepts under consideration include low-impact accommodation, camping, nature trails, environmental learning spaces and cultural experiences.
Any development would be subject to feasibility assessments, approvals, technical design and appropriate financing. These are proposed opportunities, not claims of currently operating facilities.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Responsible tourism operators
- Eco-tourism investors
- Hospitality specialists
- Tourism development organisations
- Environmental education partners
06
Community Livelihoods and Local Participation
We believe conservation can be strengthened when local communities have meaningful opportunities to participate in activities connected to the natural environment.
We are interested in exploring appropriate opportunities for skills development, local employment, community involvement and sustainable livelihoods.
We Welcome Collaboration With
- Community-based organisations
- Development agencies
- Skills-development institutions
- NGOs and responsible private-sector partners
