The Golden Fields Association, a collective of over 100 farmers in Kenya, and Big Life Kenya, a renowned wildlife conservancy organization, have jointly acknowledged the challenges they currently face in their collaboration. Despite these difficulties, both parties remain hopeful that their differences can be resolved constructively and mutually beneficial. The partnership between Golden Fields Association and Big Life Kenya was originally founded on a shared vision of balancing agricultural development with wildlife conservation. The two organizations have worked together to ensure that local farming practices and wildlife conservation efforts coexist harmoniously near the conservancy areas.
However, recent tensions have emerged due to a combination of factors, including land-use conflicts, resource management concerns, and the impact of wildlife activities on farming communities. Golden Fields Association, which represents farmers whose livelihoods are directly tied to the land surrounding the Big Life Conservancy, has expressed concerns over the encroachment of wildlife into cultivated areas. Farmers have reported losses due to wildlife damage, such as crop destruction and livestock predation.
On the other hand, Big Life Kenya has raised concerns about the potential negative effects of increased agricultural activity on the delicate ecosystem that sustains both wildlife and the local community.Despite these challenges, both organizations emphasize their commitment to finding a path forward. Through open dialogue and collaboration, they are working towards practical solutions that address both the economic needs of the farmers and the conservation goals of Big Life Kenya.
The leadership of both Golden Fields Association and Big Life Kenya are engaged in ongoing discussions, facilitated by neutral third-party mediators, with the goal of developing a comprehensive strategy that can benefit both parties. “Big Life, we understand the frustrations and concerns of the farmers in the area, and we are committed to finding solutions that ensure both agriculture and conservation can thrive together,” said the Chairman, of Big Life Kenya. “Our mission is not only to protect wildlife but also to support local communities in sustainable ways.” “Farmers and wildlife can coexist with proper planning and collaboration,” The Chairperson of Golden Fields Association. “We are optimistic that by working together, we can create a future where both our agricultural and conservation goals are met.” The two organizations remain dedicated to strengthening their partnership and continue to explore innovative solutions for the benefit of both farmers and wildlife in the region.
