When Eveline Nampaso donated her 173 acres to the Enonkishu Conservancy, she became part of 31 families who have come together to save the Maasai Mara.

The community is doing this courtesy of a holistic management model established by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to not only save the priceless ecosystem but also provide a sustainable means of livelihood to the community.
