Read the Q&A Supporter photo spotlight A big thank you to the sculptor and visual artist Kamau wã Njoroge for sharing this wonderful image of his artwork. In Kamau's words "I am a scrap metal sculptor based in Gilgil, Kenya, working primarily with upcycled mechanical and industrial waste from bicycle chains and gears to discarded sheet metal. Guided by the philosophy 'Dunia ni chafu, Uchafu ukiutizama' (the world is dirty, depending on how you look at it), my creative process turns discarded materials into sculptures that reflect environmental stewardship and social vitality. Through my ongoing avian series, Birds of Kenya, I capture the spirit and forms of native Rift Valley species to raise awareness around habitat preservation, particularly around Lake Elementaita. Every piece is an invitation to reimagine waste as art, spark community action, and inspire sustainable solutions to our shared environmental challenges.

All gifts doubled for a limited time to give birds a lifeline The Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Egyptian Vulture, Bar-headed Goose and Bobolink may follow different routes across the world, but they share a common vulnerability. If even one vital wetland, grassland, coastline or stopover site is lost, the effects can ripple across an entire migration. We can meet this challenge by taking conservation action on a global scale but we need your help.
