Site Assessment on Governance and Equity (SAGE)
As a young conservancy, Mara Ripoi faces a myriad of governance challenges, including leadership wrangles, biodiversity threats such as bushmeat poaching, wildlife snaring, fencing, human–wildlife conflicts and livestock losses from wildlife diseases. KWCA through the Scaling up Equitable Governance in Area-Based Conservation (SEGA) is supporting Mara Ripoi Conservancy to build its capacity on governance and equity by implementing SAGE to address the above threats.
Wildlife Rescue Outomes - 2025
Numerous animals have been rescued and rehabilitated through our programs. Medical care has improved survival rates for endangered species. Safe release efforts ensure animals return to protected habitats. Ongoing monitoring tracks their adaptation and survival. Rescue initiatives continue to expand globally.
Participation & Planning
The Protected Area Planning Framework (PAPF) emphasizes the importance of participation and consultation in conservation area planning. The plan development process involves a wide range of stakeholders, including MRC Board, management, and shareholders, KWS, County Government of Narok, local communities, private sector, investors, and researchers. This process ensured the inclusion, effectiveness, and alignment of diverse interests. Stakeholders were consulted at three primary levels: local communities, shareholders, technical experts, and institutional representatives.
