Grevy’s Zebra Trust | Kenya

The Grevy’s Zebra Trust (GZT) was established in January 2007 to address the urgent need to conserve Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) in the community rangelands of Kenya and Ethiopia. GZT is an independent wildlife conservation trust registered in Kenya and the only organisation that is 100% dedicated to saving the endangered Grevy’s zebra. Recognising that the survival of the Grevy’s zebra depends on its ability to coexist with people living in northern Kenya, GZT believes these communities must be at the center of designing and driving conservation efforts.

GZT therefore works in partnership with communities on various levels from monitoring Grevy’s zebra through citizen science, to co-designing site-specific and tailored solutions to threats facing the species. In all of its work, GZT seeks ways to use data and information to inform decisions and solutions for positive conservation outcomes. GZT is a small organisation working at scale in Northern Kenya across an area of more than 10,000 km2 in three regions - Wamba, El Barta and Laisamis – in the counties of Marsabit, Isiolo and Samburu. They employ more than 80 local people who work together to address the threats facing Grevy’s zebra.
