This incredible ecosystem is home to over 95 species of mammals and more than 550 species of birds, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. The Mara is particularly renowned for its high concentration of migratory herbivores, including gnus, zebras, topis, and other antelope species. The Great Wildebeest Migration, where over one million animals migrate from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara, occurs during the dry season, typically from July to October.

However, the Maasai Mara ecosystem faces significant threats, with one of the most pressing issues being the rapid loss of natural forests due to deforestation, caused by factors such as overgrazing, climate change, and the unsustainable use of natural resources. Approximately one-third of the land area in the Mara Ecosystem is protected as the Maasai Mara National Reserve, but much of the wildlife inhabits the surrounding community land, which is vulnerable to environmental degradation. Over the past 20 years, the region has experienced a dramatic decline, losing more than half of its wildlife population. The ecosystem faces ongoing challenges, including population growth, changes in traditional land-use practices, and the illegal felling of trees, all of which threaten the delicate balance of this vital wildlife habitat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-662a394\" data-id=\"662a394\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2e581e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e2e581e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The major long-term threats to wildlife conservation in the region stem from changing cultural practices that increase pressure on land resources. Unplanned settlements, permanent agricultural activities, and illegal timber harvesting pose significant threats to the Mara Ecosystem. As land is privatized and fenced off or cleared for settlement, the natural habitats critical for wildlife continue to shrink, further disrupting the ecosystem.<\/p><p>Tree planting plays a vital role in protecting this fragile ecosystem and promoting sustainable livelihoods through ongoing efforts in reforestation, education, and seed collection for future planting initiatives. In addition, trees hold significant medicinal value in the Maasai culture, and as tree populations decline, the community loses its connection to nature, impacting their traditional practices. Therefore, there is an urgent need to replenish and protect these forests to preserve both the ecosystem and cultural heritage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-666ad422 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"666ad422\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4087c903\" data-id=\"4087c903\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c14fa95 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3c14fa95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/treeplanting_15-scaled-e1635325370291.jpg\" title=\"treeplanting_15\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The land in 2020, before we started planting trees and protect it.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3567e40 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3567e40\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-24630e9\" data-id=\"24630e9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5696585 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5696585\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>PROJECT LOCATION<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Olimba Camp Mara is located along the Talek River, bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

natural forests and preserve culturally significant indigenous trees. Our goal is to plant over 10,000 trees on 100 acres of land as a starting point. The project is built on a three-step strategy:<\/p><ol><li><p>Ecological Restoration: Focuses on planting trees to improve water infiltration, reduce soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitats.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Tree Domestication: Selecting and domesticating elite trees that are culturally important to promote multifunctional landscapes and sustainable plantations.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Community Empowerment: Encouraging local communities to start their own tree nurseries and trade young seedlings, creating sustainable livelihoods through reforestation efforts.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>EXPECTED PROJECT IMPACTS<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tree planting plays a crucial role in enhancing ecosystem functions by improving water infiltration and increasing biodiversity. By providing shade and attracting forest-dependent species both above and below the ground, it promotes the return of diverse organisms. Enhanced biodiversity helps support natural predators, restore lost landscapes, aid in carbon sequestration, and secure migratory corridors, thereby reducing human-wildlife conflicts. Additionally, the project will offer economic and social benefits to the local community, creating income opportunities for youths and women, and preserving indigenous cultures, such as the use of medicinal plants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

We are focusing on native tree species such as African olive, Kenya green heart, ficus sycamorus, acacia, croton, magic quarry, cordia and many more.<\/p><p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We are acquiring the tree seedlings from the Ministry of Environment Tree Nursery in Narok, the African Hope Centre in Narok and from the Mara Discovery Tree Nursery, whereby the Mara Discovery Nursery is funded by the Oliveseed Foundation.<\/p><p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>FORCAST\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Up to today, more than a 1000 trees have been planted around the camp area. Our gardener Amos and the Olimba team are taking great care of them, watering them everyday during dry periods, making sure that as many trees as possible survive and grow.<\/p><p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the coming five years, we plan to create 2 more zones for active reforestation, elaborating working structures that allow us to grow our forest, keeping in mind potential challenges like little water resources and wildlife roaming in the area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f1d4830\" data-id=\"f1d4830\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-216fc4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"216fc4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-498x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1000\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/olimbamaracamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-04-04-113946476-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1e5ac48 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1e5ac48\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-be691cb\" data-id=\"be691cb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15f6d96 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"15f6d96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-63a97a5e elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"63a97a5e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-10294a76\" data-id=\"10294a76\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d6f0331 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1d6f0331\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Help us  <b> Reforesting the mara<\/b><\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-13aadc1b\" data-id=\"13aadc1b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d76e21e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d76e21e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Want to help us rewild Olimba?
