Kipepeo is a Swahili word for the butterflies; In Kenya we have several projects that protect these beautiful creatures of the world, including Kipepeo butterflies project near Arabuko Sokoke forest in Coastal areas of Kenya.
Kipepeo sells butterflies and moth pupae and other live insects as well as honey and silk cloth produced by the community. Their pupae are exported and the live insects hatched and displayed in insect parks globally. As the market place for nature based products from the Arabuko Sokoke forest, Kipepeo coordinates production and sales, and ensures thorough training and monitoring so that the insects are bred and raised on-farm in a sustainable manner from wild parent stock. Also Kipepeo project sells butterflies from other Kenyan forests.
A purchase of Kipepeo products contributes directly to the conservation of critical natural heritage for future generations. The Kipepeo Market Place is located at the Gede Ruins National Monument 20, kilometres south of the resort town of Malindi and near the world famous Watamu beach.
