Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) has stepped up efforts to conserve the Mara ecosystem ahead of the 12th Mara Day celebrations in Mugumu, Tanzania, next week.

This comes as officials from Kenya and Tanzania explore ways to entrench conservation of the basin in their activities to augment the successes of other efforts that have started bearing fruit.
