Ndege Protected: Invitation to Partner
A Legacy of Green Sovereignty and Strategic Impact
The Vision: Ndege Protected is a new paradigm for environmental stewardship, one that directly links corporate responsibility, philanthropy, and sustainable development. We are establishing a strategic carbon-credit program under our Ndege Aerospace conglomerate, inviting impact investors, family offices, and leading wildlife and conservation organizations to partner with us. Our focus is the strategic protection and expansion of Iveti Forest in Machakos County, Kenya, alongside a wider commitment to wildlife conservation across the continent. By leveraging our on-the-ground expertise and operational excellence, we will manage this process to ensure every contribution directly translates into the expansion of forest cover, the protection of endangered wildlife, and a verifiable, transparent carbon offset for our partners. This initiative is inextricably linked to our ultra-luxe Ang’wen The Manor, which will serve as a premier destination for conservation-minded UHNWIs and a showcase for our commitment to sustainable tourism and ecological preservation.
Capital Allocation: North of €10M
Expected Impact: This conservation partnership is expected to not only significantly increase the forest cover of Iveti but also to provide a direct and measurable impact on wildlife conservation efforts in Kenya and beyond. The program will establish a new model for corporate-led climate action, demonstrating that private wealth and strategic business operations can be a powerful force for large-scale ecological preservation and verifiable carbon sequestration. This project will generate long-term benefits for the local ecosystem and communities, while providing a unique value proposition for our partners.
