Lights help the Maasai to protect their livestock and save predators from predation

The unfenced nature of Kenya's National Parks, especially around Nairobi National Park (our core area) and others like the Maasai Mara, creates a high risk of human-wildlife conflicts.

David Mascall installs predator entry deterrent systems around individual bomas (a boma is an enclosure, especially a palisade or fence of poles and thorn bush, set up to protect the animals). 

Providing secure enclosures for livestock, he helps to reduce the loss of property due to predator attacks and the loss of lions and other predators due to retaliation. 

It's heartbreaking to hear about attacks, where livestock has already been killed, but David's efforts have an immediate impact in reducing these conflicts and promoting peace between humans and predators.

No predation - no retaliation

David Mascall's initiative is a crucial step towards promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife. 

His predator entry deterrent systems save the livelihood of the local Maasai and also help significantly reduce the number of retaliatory killings of predators.

It is a win-win situation where humans and animals can coexist peacefully, promoting harmony and helping conservation efforts.
