KENYA / Kaya Responsible Travel
Volunteer in Kenya and get the opportunity to work directly with members from the Masai Mara community to develop and implement solutions to conflict between the people living on the land and the wildlife in the area. As a volunteer you will be working to preserve the culture, the land and the vast array of species living together within the region. As land for both the people and the wildlife becomes constricted by urbanisation it becomes more and more important to find a strategy for coexistence.
As a part of this, there is a great need for the consistent and accurate collection of data on the conservation area, including regular censuses of the wild animal population. Under the guidance of the experienced conservation team, you will assist in the regular collection of this data. The core aims of the project is to monitor the lion population and movements of the prides within the conservation area, monitor the interaction between the lions and villages and educate and create awareness within the community on the importance and value of lions.
As a volunteer, you will be trained in consistent and accurate collection of data in the Naibosho Conservation area, including regular censuses of the wild animal population here. Volunteers will also assist with data collection during the Great Migration which occurs throughout the months of July-October.
Another major area volunteers will work in is the Green Village project. The aim of this project is to educate the community on the importance of conservation and eco-friendliness. This may include teaching and awareness raising on conservation issues in the schools and community, village clean-ups, building projects, waste disposal and water usage.
