Chemosit Sanctuary is a community-led environmental organization based in Kenya’s highlands.

We focus on forest restoration, wildlife protection, and community empowerment to create harmony between people and nature.

We are located within the Chemosit ecosystem in Bomet County, Kenya, a crucial water catchment area that feeds into the Mara River.

Our mission is to protect and restore Chemosit’s forests, wildlife, and water resources while uplifting local communities through sustainable livelihoods.

• 🌳 Forest Restoration – tree planting and catchment rehabilitation

• 🦜 Wildlife Protection – monitoring and care for endangered species

• 💧 Water Conservation – safeguarding rivers, wetlands, and springs

• 👩🏾‍🌾 Community Empowerment – eco-jobs, training, and environmental education

We track progress through tangible results — such as trees planted, hectares restored, species protected, and local residents trained.

Annual summaries and project updates are shared on our website and social media pages.

Chemosit is home to a range of species including the African Crowned Eagle, Turaco, duikers, primates, reptiles, and amphibians.

It also serves as a migration corridor for several bird species.
