Day 2: Traditional Herding Workshop
Lions are top predators, which means they occasionally compete for the same food as other top predators like humans; leading to conflict. The Great Plains Foundation, along with its partner CLAWS Conservancy, are working with local farmers to reignite traditional herding practices that avoid dangerous conflicts with lions and livestock.

Support this innovative, effective approach to lion conservation by sponsoring a local farmer to attend the Traditional Herding Workshop for just $200 per farmer.

Day 3: Maasai Olympics
The Maasai Olympics is an incredible community-led lion conservation program demonstrating the power of local communities to protect iconic species like lions. This athletic competition brings together participants from across Kenya’s Maasai-land to compete in sporting events, rather than lion hunts. It is a truly inspiring example of what is possible through community led conservation.
