KENYA / GVI
This project brings you to a new Maasai conservancy in south Kenya, part of the wildlife dispersal lands that link the famous Nairobi and Amboseli National Parks and the Maasai Mara. As part of the historic Maasailand ecosystem, local communities continue to depend on livestock for their living. However, drought, increasing human populations and changing land use are taking their toll. This conservancy aims to manage land sustainably harmoniously with wildlife populations. You will be undertaking research on the wildlife populations and the habitats that support them, including Lion, Cheetah, Giraffe and Zebra. You will work directly with the Maasai community on development projects to improve critical socio-economic factors, such as access to water, education and alternative incomes. Learn tracking from the Maasai on the African plains, work towards resolving human wildlife conflict and deliver education and training to Maasai men, women and children, while living and learning amongst them.
