Natural Justice provides specific recommendations for the Wildlife Conservation Management Amendment Bill, focusing on budgetary clarity for county committees, the inclusion of indigenous and local community representatives in the Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund's governing body, and increasing the minimum benefit-sharing percentage for local communities to at least 15%.

• Natural Justice suggests replacing the phrase "adequate funds" in the proposed section 21A with specific percentages of the budget for County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committees to prevent the "abuse of discretionary powers" and improve "transparency and accountability in the budgeting process".
• The organization proposes amending section 23 (2) of the Principal Act to include a representative from indigenous and local communities in the governing body of the Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund. This is intended to ensure that communities who manage lands where wildlife occurs are "effectively involved and engaged in the management and conservation of biodiversity".
• Natural Justice recommends increasing the minimum percentage of benefits allocated to local communities to at least 15%, noting that current benefit-sharing laws in Kenya are "fragmented". This recommendation is informed by the Natural Resources and Benefit Sharing Bill, which suggests a minimum community benefit of approximately 13%.
