Our Approach
Our Approach
Mara Elephant Project’s primary area of operation is the Greater Mara Ecosystem located in southwestern Kenya along the Tanzania border.
“Mara” in Maa, the language of the Maasai people, means “dot”, which is what the iconic trees throughout the region look like from the air.
Mara Elephant Project focuses on four aims to connect the dots for conservation.
Elephant Population Protection
Elephant Habitat Protection
Human-Elephant Coexistence
Landscape Connectivity
Our approach is to monitor, evaluate and protect
The MEP Method
MONITOR – MEP deploys innovative techniques and technologies to monitor the four dots.
EVALUATE – MEP builds bespoke technologies that evaluate conservation data and produce actionable outputs to influence policy, landscape planning, and the deployment of resources.
PROTECT – MEP deploys Kenyan rangers and researchers to protect elephants, communities, and connectivity.
