Description
Oloisukut Conservancy is an intriguing new conservation concept on land-use. Prior to 2010 the Oloisukut Conservancy was populated by rural homesteads and grazed in an uncontrolled manner by large herds of cattle, sheep and goats. The Eco-system was over-grazed and the integrity of the habitat for both people and wildlife being destroyed. After many meetings with the local Maasai members it was agreed that a new community conservation vision should be tried to address environmental and land use aspects of their land and to add value in both income, conservation of environmental goods and services and livelihoods. A combination of wildlife conservation, tourism and sustainable grazing patterns would create a win-win situation for both the Maasai landowners and the wildlife of the whole Mara Eco-system.
