FACT FILE
|
While national parks are a vital component for saving landscapes and wildlife in East Africa, more than 65% of the region’s famous wildlife occur in the lands between the parks—much of it managed by pastoral people such as the Maasai. That is why it is even more critical today to support communities who want to save their open landscapes—and the wildlife—now and forever. |
