An International Model for Rehabilitation & Conservation

 

The success of The Mkomazi Project as an international model for rehabilitation and conservation was recognised in 2008 by the designation of National Park status for Mkomazi. In 2006 Tony Fitzjohn was awarded the OBE. 

We worked together with the Wildlife Division and particularly following Mkomazi’s designation as a National Park, with Tanzanian National Parks (TANAPA), the partners to whom we passed on our projects and all the responsibilities, and under whom we saw the Park take great strides towards its former glory.

The Mkomazi Project has long been recognised as one of the most prestigious, well equipped and successful wildlife conservation projects in East Africa. We are proud to leave this legacy together with the full infrastructure of the Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary, a well-functioning workshop, the base-camp, the African wild dog programme and the environmental education programme. We were also able to donate a massive quantity of equipment and state of the art technology in order to enable the systems we established to be maintained. We are particularly proud that from the creation of the Rhino Sanctuary and during twenty two years of stewardship we lost not a single rhino to poachers. An extraordinary achievement in a period of rampant destruction.

The Future

In 2020, following the handover of the Mkomazi Project to the wildlife authority Tanzanian National Parks, the Trusts returned to Kenya to focus on the rehabilitation of Kora National Park, continuing extensive discussions with the Kenya Wildlife Services for the long-term stewardship, conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development of Kora and to forward joint objectives.
