Elephant Aware Masai Mara employs Maasai rangers who patrol an area of approximately 84,000 acres, 24/7 for poachers, locate and report injured animals for veterinary care, remove snares, report suspicious activity and work with landowners on methods to avoid human elephant conflict. Today, in African countries where elephants still exist, incidences of poaching and of human elephant conflict continue to grow as population expands and the economy in many countries weakens. Protected areas are becoming extremely fragile. Elephant Aware Masai Mara works to protect corridors for elephants and other wildlife and preserve the unique landscape of Siana in southern Kenya.
