By creating jobs through an eco-fashion apparel company and building schools, Wildlife Works has helped cheetahs, elephants, zebras and more become an asset for the people living near Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary in Kenya.  A key migration corridor between Tsavo West and Tsavo West National Parks, Rukinga was lost to poaching and encroachment before Wildlife Works engaged area residents in Consumer Powered Conservation?.

To the locals who manufacture clothing in the community-built ecofactory and engage in other efforts, the link between better livelihoods, conservation and Wildlife Works is clear.  These individuals champion wildlife in their community, asking friends and families to join them.  Today, as many as 450 elephants call Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary home, along with 46 other large mammals, hundreds of birds, dozens of reptiles and amphibians and thousands of insects.

	Hand-sewn at the edge of the Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary in Kenya, this men’s Leopard Shadow shirt in organic cotton helps build a brighter future for African wildlife.
	Inspired by an African mud-cloth pattern, this organic cotton shirt is crafted by women like Edita Vita Mkala, a mother of three: “We have managed to build our own house…I am able to get cooperative loan, which helps many of us, ladies, to have development projects at home.”
	This toddler’s t-shirt is more than fun, coming from Wildlife Works, which provides jobs for people who share their land and resources with wildlife.
