Conservation efforts in Eburru Forest, Naivasha, have successfully boosted beekeeping, transforming livelihoods and restoring the ecosystem.

• Local beekeepers, organized into cooperatives, now process and sell high-quality honey, with forest hives outperforming domestic ones.
• The Eburru Forest Reserve, a key part of the Mau Forests Complex, was once threatened by illegal logging and human-wildlife conflict.
• Conservation initiatives, including an electric fence and community engagement by organizations like Rhino Ark and the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, have reduced illegal activities and encouraged sustainable income through beekeeping and other ventures.
