FOKP

Friends of Kinangop Plateau (FoKP), a community based organization that was founded in 1997 with the major goal of conserving the surrounding/immediate environment, including the Kinangop Highland Grasslands, The Western Aberdare Mountains and Eastern basin/catchment of the Lake Naivasha. FoKP is composed of its 4 active branches namely, Murungaru, Engineer, Njabini and Magumu-Nyakio branches... Friends of Kinangop Plateau work to address threats of habitat loss, fragmentation and poaching and degradation which in turn further reduce the critical biodiversity in it. From deforestation, poaching for food and market, charcoal burning to encroachment happening in the Aberdare Mountains to the Rampant grassland conversion to cultivated land, excessive use of pesticide, overgrazing in Kinangop grasslands and pollution, over extraction, over fishing in Lake Naivasha, anthropogenic activities threaten the critical habitat and in turn the biodiversity in it.
