Yesterday, we proudly joined hands with partners and stakeholders for our Monthly Beach Clean-Up, led and officially flagged off by the Malindi Deputy County Commissioner, Mr. Harrison Matevwa.

Organized by PWAM the KWS Malindi Marine National Park & Reserve clean-up brought together several stakeholders, including Kenya Police, Malindi Casino, Diamond, The Kasa, Equity Bank, Kesho Yetu, County Government of Kilifi, Malindi Municipal, and many other partners.

Together, we cleaned the stretch from Lawfords Beach to Buntwani Beach, collecting a significant amount of waste:

🧴 Plastic: 18 kg
🍾 Glass: 34 kg
🛞 Rubber: 10 kg
🗑 General waste:214
🗑️ Total waste collected: 276 kg

The exercise also provided an opportunity for KWS and the DCC's office to sensitize participants on the importance of keeping our environment clean, the impacts of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems, and the role we all play in preventing biodiversity loss.

🌱 A clean beach means a healthier ocean and a safer future for marine life.

Thank you to all our partners, stakeholders, volunteers and members of the public who came out to make a difference.

Together, let's keep our beaches clean, protect our ocean, and conserve our biodiversity. 💙🌊

Yesterday, Marine FC and Forest Rangers FC faced off in a friendly match that ended in a 0–0 draw. While the score was level, the greatest achievement was successfully delivering important conservation awareness messages to the community.

During the event, Senior Sergeant Mwachanze educated participants on:
✅ The correct wildlife incident reporting procedures.
✅ The wildlife compensation process.
✅ The composition of the Compensation Committee.
✅ Categories of wildlife incidents eligible for compensation.
✅ The basic requirements for compensation claims.

The session concluded with an interactive Q&A, where community members received professional guidance on their questions.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our Patron, Madam Ntindi, for her invaluable support in making this initiative a success. We also thank Marine FC, Forest Rangers FC, and all the spectators who attended and embraced the conservation message.

We look forward to extending this initiative to wildlife hotspot areas such as Sosoni, Chakama, and Marafa, together with like-minded conservationists and Honorary Wardens, with the goal of making it a regular community engagement activity.

Together, we can strengthen conservation through sports, education, and community partnerships. 🌿⚽
