# Job Description


A LITTLE ABOUT US

Founded in 1951, the Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization
dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided
by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s
toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are
tackling climate change, and conserving lands, waters and oceans at
unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and helping make
cities more sustainable. One of our core values is our commitment to
diversity. Therefore, we strive for a globally diverse and culturally
competent workforce. Working in 79 countries, including all 50 United States,
we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments,
the private sector, and other partners. To learn more, visit www.nature.org or

The Nature Conservancy Africa program follows a holistic approach to protect
vital lands and waters, transform the way natural resources are used and
managed and inspire to equip others to contribute to the shared vision of a
healthy and sustainable future for Africa’s lands, waters, wildlife and
people. We use a collaborative approach that engages local communities,
governments, the private sector, and other partners.

The Nature Conservancy recently set its 2030 organizational outcomes and
identified 4 pilot focal places or areas for deeper engagement. Focal places
are globally significant for their potential contribution towards both
biodiversity and carbon. This makes these places excellent testing grounds for
new ways of thinking and working that facilitate accelerated impact. The
Africa Region identified Kenya as a focal place in part because we have an
opportunity to achieve tangible and lasting conservation wins by working with
the Government of Kenya to support their commitment of 30% protected land by
2030. We will work with the Government of Kenya to define what this commitment
means, where new areas would be land and water to increase from the current
21%, and costs to ensure strong implementation
