Nairobi, Kenya — Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has reaffirmed Kenya’s status as a global leader in biodiversity protection and climate action, citing strong international support for the country’s conservation agenda.
Speaking after a high-level meeting today with global partners, CS Miano emphasized that Kenya’s decades-long commitment to environmental stewardship continues to attract strategic alliances with major organizations such as Conservation International (CI), The Nature Conservancy, WWF, UNEP, IFAW, AWF, and IUCN.
“These partnerships are not just symbolic — they are delivering tangible benefits to our environment, communities, and economy,” Miano said.
She accompanied President William Ruto in a meeting with Dr. M. Sanjayan, CEO of Conservation International, where discussions focused on deepening cooperation in wildlife protection, climate response, and nature-based livelihoods — all aligned with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and Vision 2030.
CS Miano highlighted that Kenya’s conservation model — built on protected areas, conservancies, and community-led initiatives — offers a blueprint for inclusive and sustainable environmental governance.
CI commended Kenya’s climate leadership, especially following the successful African Climate Summit, and pledged enhanced technical and financial backing to support Kenya’s regional and global climate goals.
“Kenya is not only preserving its natural heritage; it is helping shape global policy on biodiversity and climate,” Miano noted.
The meeting closed with a renewed commitment to scale up conservation efforts, promote green jobs, and strengthen Kenya’s role as a key environmental partner on the world stage.
