The national parks system of Kenya is maintained by the Kenya Wildlife Service. There are two main types of terrestrial protected areas in Kenya:

• national parks, and
• national reserves.

There are also marine parks and marine reserves.

Kenya Wildlife Service conserves and manages national parks, wildlife conservation areas, and sanctuaries under its jurisdiction.

KWS runs specific programmes to assist Kenyan species and their habitats that are in particular danger. They have forest and Wetland conservation programmes, as well as specific elephant and rhino projects to help them recover from poaching. The hirola, which is in danger of extinction, is also being monitored.
