Wildlife Works successfully creates jobs, builds education, saves forests, combats global warming while conserving wildlife in Kenya. Wildlife Works’ mission is to harness the power of the global consumer to create innovative and sustainable solutions for wildlife conservation. They call it Consumer Powered Conservation.
Using innovative market-based mechanisms to save wilderness and protect biodiversity rather than “fence and shoot” methods of wildlife conservation, WildlifeWorks is building jobs to discourage poaching as a means of family support in the 80,000-acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary, thereby protecting an entire wildlife corridor between Tsavo East and West National Parks. These innovative mechanisms include the building of an ecofactory where fashionable clothing is manufactured and sold online at WildlifeWorks, and, most importantly, also includes the sale of carbon credits to corporations.
Wildlife Works is a leading Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD) project developer. Twenty percent of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions come from the deforestation of tropical rainforests, and the United Nations introduced the REDD initiative in 2008 to combat climate change. The “Kasigau Corridor REDD Project” in 2011 became the first REDD project in the World to achieve successful Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCB) validation and verification.
