Established as a not-for-profit legal entity in 2013, MMWCA (maraconservancies.org) is a membership organization open to any existing or upcoming wildlife conservancy whose land is part of or integral to the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem.
MMWCA’s vision is a cultural landscape where communities and partners secure wildlife and sustainable livelihoods for a better future. MMWCA’s mission is to conserve the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem, through a network of protected, biodiverse areas, for the prosperity of all: wildlife, the local population, and recreation and tourism for the nation of Kenya.
Daniel Sopia leads the MMWCA and is an accomplished leader in conservation, with an impressive track record of working with local communities to protect Kenya’s diverse ecosystems.
The MMWCA is one of 12 regional associations of the Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (KWCA). KWCA has been instrumental in leasing approximately 6.5 million hectares (16 million acres) of land to date. The CEO of KWCA, Dixon Kaelo, is a former Basecamp Foundation employee and was instrumental in establishing the Mara Naboisho conservancy.
The MMWCA works together with Basecamp on developing, managing and reporting on joint projects.
