Hirola Conservation Programme
The Hirola Conservation Programme (HCP) is an indegenious people's organisation registered in Kenya in 2014 and is dedicated to promoting the conservation of hirola antelope (Beatragus hunteri) in eastern Kenya. The project resulted from a global concern about declining hirola populations coupled with limited conservation effort for hirola.This is because hirola occurs outside formally protected area and therefore a strong in-situ programme was identified as the ultimate solution to curb on-going hirola declines.
