Landscape Connectivity
Situated at the crossroads of the Rift Valley, Laikipia Plateau, and Northern Kenya’s drylands, Mugie Conservancy is a crucial wildlife corridor that enables species movement between these ecosystems. Its strategic location links neighboring conservancies and the broader landscape, serving as a vital connector. The conservancy’s diverse topography, from high-altitude areas to wetlands, forms a rich mosaic of habitats supporting a variety of wildlife.
Mugie’s wildlife corridors and wetlands are essential for ecological balance, providing year-round stopovers for migratory birds and uninterrupted wildlife movement. These features enhance biodiversity, support local community security, help control zoonotic diseases, and ensure continued access to grazing lands, reinforcing the connection between conservation and community well-being.
