ILMAMUSI Mukogodo Forest Association
The pastoralist communities surrounding the Forest depend on forest products such as honey, herbs, firewood, water, pasture, and building materials. Ecotourism is a more recent form of income generation.
ILMAMUSI was formed in 2003, formally registered in 2008 but became fully operational in 2016 with a well constituted management committee of 24 members, fully paid 15 staff (project manager, one admin assistant, 12 rangers and one security coordinator), and a well – equipped office strategically located at the entrance to the forest.
ILMAMUSI CFA is a registered member of the National Alliance of Community Forests Association (NACOFA), Laikipia Wildlife Forum (LWF), Laikipia Tourism Association(LTA), Mount Kenya Ewaso Water Partnership(MKWEP) and the Laikipia Conservancies Association (LCA) . [ Learn More ]
