MMWCA serves as the umbrella organization for wildlife conservancies in Kenya’s Greater Maasai Mara ecosystem, one of Africa’s most important wildlife landscapes. They work to strengthen and expand the conservancy model while ensuring local communities benefit from wildlife conservation.

A organização presta apoio abrangente, incluindo: estabelecimento e fortalecimento de conservâncias; gestão de pastagens; desenvolvimento do turismo; e programas de benefícios comunitários. Trabalha para assegurar habitats críticos para a vida selvagem, ao mesmo tempo que garante que as comunidades pastorais possam manter os seus meios de subsistência tradicionais e beneficiar da conservação.

Under MMWCA’s leadership, the Mara conservancy movement has grown to protect over 350,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat while providing direct benefits to over 15,000 landowners. Their work has helped establish conservancies as a vital complement to the Maasai Mara National Reserve while creating new models for community-based conservation.
