  "summary": "The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has formed a strategic partnership with Archipelagos to bolster the management and restoration of Lake Turkana National Parks, located in the Lake Turkana region of Kenya. This collaboration aims to support the implementation of the Lake Turkana National Parks Management Plan (2026–2036) and enhance conservation efforts in a region recognized as a significant natural and cultural landscape. KWS Director General Prof. Erustus Kanga emphasized the importance of this partnership, highlighting the parks' ecological, archaeological, and heritage value. The partnership involves a range of organizations, including the Turkana Basin Institute, the National Museums of Kenya, the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, and local communities, all working together to implement the revised 10-year management plan. Sibiloi National Park, stretching along the eastern shores of Lake Turkana, and the Central and South Islands form a protected area covering over 6,000 square kilometres. Together, this partnership is expected to bolster the conservation of unique biodiversity, archaeological sites, and cultural heritage while supporting the long-term management of the protected landscape.",
