Special thanks to the following members who will fund a good portion of this year\u2019s training program:<\/p>\n<p>The project they support, founded by and for Maasai, seeks to reduce overall herd size, increase milk production, and introduce new methods of land management. Moreover, it empowers women to send their daughters to school. The program addresses a critical need. The human population around the Serengeti has increased dramatically, tourism adds impacts from within, and climate change is bringing more droughts. Maasai are under pressure to leave their traditional homeland unless ways can be found to reduce impacts on the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Getting involved and giving back is the proper response for the travel industry. The Serengeti is at a pivotal moment, and it needs the support from those who use it. This is especially true now that the current US government has significantly reduced its role in humanitarian and conservation efforts globally.<\/p>\n<p>Your company can make a real difference and stand out to travelers. Consider joining Friends of Serengeti.
