Njabini Wool Crafters (NWC) is a vibrant non-governmental organization founded in year 2015. The Organization’s headquarters are based in Njabini, Kenya.
The Kinangop grasslands are the global stronghold of the species, which requires grass tussocks for feeding, roosting and nesting. The longclaw has been severely affected by habitat destruction. Its numbers have declined by more than 80% and are still falling.If the grasslands are lost, the Longclaw and other grassland birds will be too. Turning around the decline of Sharpe’s Longclaw is a major challenge, but one which can be achieved.
The Njabini Wool Crafters aims to protect both the Kinangop grasslands and Sharpe’s Longclaw by offering an economically viable alternative to converting the remaining grassland for arable farming. This project is a crucial part of local community-based conservation activities.
