History

Wildlife Clubs of Kenya (WCK) is a nonprofit organization formed in 1968 by Kenyan students. It was the first conservation education programme of its kind on the continent of Africa. According to Dr. George Schaller:” WCK is the most effective grass-roots programme of its kind in all of Africa.” WCK was elected to the UNEP’s Global 500 Honour Roll in 1986. Through Africa wide workshops, WCK has stimulated a continental wildlife clubs movement. It has also helped spawn clubs in Asia, Latin America and elsewhere in the third world. 

WCK  actively engages in conservation initiatives and programmes  aimed at preserving and protecting natural resources, wildlife, ecosystems, and biodiversity. E.g.  lobbying for the ban  on hunting and wildlife trophies; vigorous conservation of natural resources initiatives,  reforestation through tree growing activities.

For over a half century of service , WCK proudly looks back on one of its  fundamental achievement i.e  It has helped educate over  10,000,000 young Kenyans and placed many of them in positions of conservation  of the wildlife and environment .  The WCK Clubs’ intention is to ensure that this enormous membership and awareness leads to tangible conservation successes.
