Our Volunteer Programme offers a unique and immersive opportunity to actively engage in wildlife conservation on an operational wildlife sanctuary in Kenya. This hands-on experience unlike any other, providing specialised training in raptor conservation - an area of epertise few other conservation organisations offer or specialise in.
As a volunteer, you will participate in meaningful fieldwork, including population surveys and banding studies (subject to permits) of African Fish Eagles on Lake Naivasha, a RAMSAR site reknowed for its rich biodiversity and status as a birdwatching paradise in the Rift Valley. You will also monitor the breeding population of critically endagered Ruppell's Vultures in Hell's Gate National Park, as well as contributing to essential conservation efforts to improve and protect Kilimandege Sanctuary.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to secure healthy raptor populations in Kenya. To achieve this we need to protect critical raptor habitat, manage and restore raptor populations, and educate people on the value and importance of raptors.
Description
The Trust is made up of a team of individuals who are each committed to raptor conservation and the longterm welfare of raptors in an increasingly challenging environment. We work closely with the Kenya Wildlife Service, the National Museums of Kenya, and many partners to secure the viability of raptor populations in the wild in Kenya, and when requested, elsewhere in the world.
The Kenya Bird of Prey Trust strives to work with partners to actively manage raptors in their natural environment, to understand raptor ecology and movements better, to restore populations through rescue and rehabilitation, and to educate people in order to limit raptor persecution. With the permission and partnership of the Kenya Wildlife Service, we are responsible for the care of a variety of raptors in two centre.
