The Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies

The Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies are protected areas in Kenya that collaborate with local Maasai communities to conserve wildlife and their habitats. These conservancies combine sustainable tourism, community land management, and conservation efforts, allowing local residents to benefit economically while protecting animals like lions, elephants, and cheetahs. They help reduce human-wildlife conflict and promote eco-friendly land use, ensuring the health of the ecosystem. By involving local communities, the conservancies create a balanced approach that supports both wildlife conservation and community development.
