Her work emphasizes cultural identity, self-worth, authenticity, wildlife, and environmental conservation.
She draws her inspiration from personal experiences,
community narratives, and the beauty of existence.
During the Wild Mural Festival, Ninah Tanya has been associated to the Grevy Zebra Trust that works with the protection of Grevy Zebras in Kenya.
The Grevy’s Zebra Trust (GZT)
is the only organisation in the world with a mission focused solely on conserving the endangered Grevy’s zebra.
Recognising that the survival of the Grevy’s zebra depends on its ability to coexist with people living in northern Kenya,
GZT believes these communities must be at the centre of designing and driving conservation efforts.
GZT therefore works in partnership
with communities from monitoring Grevy’s zebra
through citizen science, to co-designing site-specific
And tailored solutions to threats facing the species.
In all of its work, GZT seeks ways to use data and information to inform decisions and solution for positive conservation outcomes.
We had the chance to visit the Grevy Zebra Trust together with Ninah to learn about their work and how they protect the endangered grevy zebra in northem Kenya.
