An independent, voluntary, non-partisan organisation dedicated to environmental conservation, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience across Kenya.
Who We Are
EcoHealth & Resilience Conservation Network (ERCN) is a non-partisan, non-discriminatory organisation based in Nairobi, Kenya, committed to safeguarding natural ecosystems while building the resilience of local communities.
We believe that healthy environments and healthy communities are inseparable — our programs integrate scientific conservation methods with traditional indigenous knowledge to create lasting change from the ground up.
This is ERCN
Our work spans thirteen interconnected objectives, each essential to building a healthier planet and more resilient communities across Kenya and beyond.
Empowering local populations as environmental stewards through community-led conservation and resource management committees overseeing forests, water bodies, and wildlife corridors.
Restoring forests, wetlands, grasslands, and water catchment areas using native and climate-resilient species, with soil conservation and riparian zone rehabilitation.
Supporting climate-smart agriculture, agroforestry systems, and community-based adaptation planning — including early warning systems for droughts, floods, and landslides.
Advocating at local, county, and national levels to influence environmental legislation, monitor compliance, and ensure community voices are heard in impact assessments.
Promoting water conservation, rainwater harvesting, waste recycling, clean energy adoption, and plastic reduction through community education and practical interventions.
Protecting native flora and fauna through habitat protection, species recovery programs, community conservancies, wildlife corridors, and anti-poaching surveillance systems.
Using remote sensing, GIS mapping, and field surveys to track soil quality, water quality, vegetation cover, and wildlife populations — establishing critical baseline data.
Building green enterprises — beekeeping, butterfly farming, tree nurseries, ecotourism — and providing training in permaculture, organic farming, and market linkage.
Conducting school programs, community workshops, and field days that foster ecological literacy — establishing environmental clubs and future conservation leaders.
