Today, 31st July 2026, the World Rangers Day celebrations in the Central Rift Conservation Area commenced with a park clean-up exercise along the shores of Lake Nakuru. Staff, rangers, and community members participated in collecting litter to promote a clean, healthy ecosystem for wildlife and visitors.

The clean-up was followed by a procession from Afraha Stadium through Nakuru Town to Lake Nakuru National Park, led by the Senior Assistant Director, Central Rift Conservation Area, and accompanied by the Nakuru County Commissioner, other county officials, and distinguished guests. The procession was held to honour the dedication, bravery, and sacrifice of rangers in protecting wildlife and conserving natural resources.

The day's activities highlighted this year's theme, "Rangers: Guardians of a Changing Planet." Key messages focused on the importance of wildlife conservation, strengthening community partnerships in conservation, and promoting compliance with park rules and regulations.

The celebrations boosted the morale of rangers while raising public awareness of the vital role they play in safeguarding Kenya's wildlife, biodiversity, and natural heritage for present and future generations.

Nakuru Trade & Tourism Expo 2026.
Today marked the second day of the Nakuru Trade & Tourism Expo 2026, held at the Rift Valley Sports Club under the theme "Connecting Trade, Tourism, and Investment for Inclusive Growth."

The KWS Lake Nakuru National Park team continued to engage members of the public, stakeholders, learners, and exhibitors by showcasing their conservation initiatives and the diverse tourism experiences available within Kenya's protected areas.

The KWS exhibition stand attracted a steady flow of visitors who were taken through the Service's conservation mandate, wildlife protection efforts, human-wildlife coexistence initiatives, and the importance of environmental stewardship.

Visitors also received information on the unique attractions of Lake Nakuru National Park and other protected areas, promoting domestic tourism while encouraging greater public participation in wildlife conservation.

The interactive sessions provided an opportunity to address questions from visitors, strengthen partnerships with fellow exhibitors, and inspire communities to play an active role in conserving Kenya's rich biodiversity.

The exhibition continues to serve as an important platform for creating awareness, promoting sustainable tourism, and showcasing KWS's contribution to national development. Join us tomorrow for the final day of the Expo.
