PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PRIVATE SECTOR AND LOCAL COMMUNITY

Mara North Conservancy is a not-for-profit company established in January 2009. The conservancy is a partnership between eleven member camps and over 800 Maasai landowners. The aim is to create a best practice, world-class conservancy with long-term commitments to the environment, wildlife, and local communities.

Mara North Conservancy is managed by a board of directors, elected by the camp owners. The board works in partnership with the Maasai Landowner Committee to meet long and short term conservation objectives for the future.

The Landowner Committee reports to all landowners for their final approval. Twice a year, full community meetings are held whereby all landowners are able to voice their opinion on the way forward.
