Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association | Kenya
The Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association (MMWCA) is a membership organisation of all the Mara conservancies, open to any existing or upcoming wildlife conservancy whose land is part of or integral to the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem. MMWCA’s commitment is to conserve the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem, through a network of protected areas (conservancies and conservation areas), for the prosperity of all – biodiversity and wildlife, the regional Maasai population, recreation and tourism for the nation of Kenya. They have three primary objectives:
Provide a space for open discussions, a hub for knowledge sharing and coordination across conservancies, a voice for advocacy, lobbying county and national government and driving policy in the interest of conservancies and conservation related issues.
Support the creation and development of conservancies and their neighbouring areas across the greater Mara ecosystem, as a sustainable form of land-use, and to provide mechanisms for equitable and value-based benefit sharing to sustain land under conservation.
Lead or/and implement development and conservation programs across member conservancies to facilitate coordination, collaboration and synergistic action.
