NEW! - Restoring Habitats in Kenya's Greater Maasai Mara

Embark on a journey to the Enarau Wildlife Conservancy, a beacon of hope for Kenya's Maasai Mara. Over the last 40 years, the Greater Maasai Mara Ecosystem has suffered ecological degradation, reduced large mammal populations, and disrupted wildlife migrations. This expedition provides the opportunity to support scientists conducting pioneering research to rejuvenate the iconic savannas and bolster wildlife conservation efforts in the Greater Maasai Mara Ecosystem.

The Enarau Wildlife Conservancy is a living laboratory encompassing diverse habitats, such as grasslands, woodlands, and one of the most extensive wetlands in the Mara. This conservation area has the potential for future expansion and can attract more wildlife and promote natural plant regeneration. Enarau, which holds 336 acres of abandoned farmland, provides a unique opportunity to investigate various savanna restoration strategies that can be scaled across other degraded lands in East Africa.

Beyond Enarau, Earthwatch participants will be crucial in establishing a surveillance network to monitor ecosystem degradation across a vast 100 km2 landscape. By closely working with scientists and local communities, your hands-on contributions will directly impact the revival of this critical ecosystem. You will monitor biodiversity and land degradation, help reintroduce native species, conduct experiments on rehabilitated farmlands, and more.
