A new report by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and Lawyers Without Borders (ASF) accused the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) of displacing Indigenous communities in northern Kenya to make way for wildlife reserves tied to tourism and carbon offset projects.
The NRT claims to support community-led conservation, but rights groups said it had restricted the Borana, Samburu, and Rendille peoples from accessing their ancestral lands, often using rangers and police to enforce evictions, sometimes violently.
The conservancies, which receive funding from major corporations and donors like Netflix, Meta, USAID, and the EU, have faced repeated allegations of abuse. Earlier this year, a court sided with Indigenous communities and ruled that two of NRT's largest conservancies had been created illegally. 165 people from local communities brought the case.
