| Policy
and Legislation
Nature Kenya has had significant input to the Environment Management
and Co-ordination Act (1999), the Forests Act (2005), the National
Environment Action Plan, the National Biodiversity Strategy and
Action Plan and ongoing discussions on land law reform. Further,
Nature Kenya is involved in ongoing forests sector reforms, notably
drawing up of national guidelines for Participatory Forest Management
and sensitization of Community Forest Associations.
Our aim is to help produce revised laws and policies that will ensure
environmental sustainability, and thus benefit all Kenyans. We provide
objective technical advice, and try to ensure that modern conservation
approaches are fully incorporated.

African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA)
A workshop and seminar on AEWA organised by Nature Kenya (July 1999)
was instrumental in securing Kenya's accession to this treaty. The
proceedings of the meeting, with recommendations for revisions to
the AEWA appendices, were adopted as an official document of the
subsequent Meeting of Parties. |
