Individual birds and wider populations
Kenya Bird of Prey Trust treats care for injured raptors as part of conservation. Its programmes link rescue and rehabilitation with research, public education and practical responses to threats. Powerlines, poisoning and persecution feature in its stated priorities, alongside identifying important places for birds of prey and working to protect those landscapes.
A first base at Lake Naivasha
The Naivasha Raptor Centre is located at Kilimandege Sanctuary on South Lake Road. It provides initial treatment and housing for incoming injured birds, with an onsite clinic equipped for basic raptor first aid. The centre also accommodates birds during longer recovery, connecting immediate attention with the sustained daily work of feeding, enclosure care and rehabilitation.
When returning to the wild is impossible
Some permanently injured raptors remain in long-term care and contribute to public education. The centre describes enclosures suited to different birds, including a first phase of specialist vulture accommodation completed in 2020. Its published expansion plans concern additional space for birds unable to return to the wild; those plans are separate from existing facilities.
Training people who respond to threats
With partners including the Peregrine Fund, the trust has trained Kenya Wildlife Service personnel in safe and humane vulture capture and tagging protocols. It also provides practical training for poisoning incidents, covering handling, emergency care and transport. This is capacity building for responders and partners, connecting individual rescue skills with broader conservation work.
Research and organised learning visits
Monitoring and research aim to improve knowledge of raptor populations and ecology, with findings shared through scientific and public channels. At Naivasha, educational tours take place by appointment, and schools can contact the trust to organise visits. These activities let visitors learn why raptors need protection while supporting a centre with ongoing care responsibilities. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
