"We could lose the Mara."

1. We are all responsible for the protection of the Mara.
2. The Mara will fall into the hands of poachers if funding is not found now.
3. We must protect the Mara for future generations.

December 2007
- Post-election violence erupts across Kenya.

January 2008
- Tourism collapses, park revenue drops by 90%.

February 2008
- Financial crisis leads to reduction of critical wildlife protection.

Home to BBC’s Big Cat Diary and the world famous migration of wildebeest, the Mara Conservancy is responsible for protecting wildlife in the Mara Triangle. Since 2001, they have caught over 1,000 poachers and collected 1,000s of wire snares - saving the lives of thousands of animals.

Widely recognised as a highly efficient park management initiative, the Mara Conservancy - a non-profit organisation - is entirely dependent on park entrance fees. Without this source of revenue, all park operations against poachers have to be stopped and the animals of the Mara Triangle will be under severe threat.

“We could lose the Mara. To preserve it for the benefit of future generations, we must act now.”

Richard Leakey
