Maasai are conservationists

The Maasai people stood against slavery and lived alongside most wild animals with an aversion to eating game and birds. Maasai land now has East Africa's finest game areas. Maasai society never condoned traffic of human beings, and outsiders looking for people to enslave avoided the Maasai.
Essentially there are twelve geographic sectors of the tribe, each one having its own customs, appearance, leadership and dialects. These subdivisions are known as the Keekonyokie, Damat, Purko, Wuasinkishu, Siria, Laitayiok, Loitai, Kisonko, Matapato, Dalalekutuk, Loodokolani and Kaputiei.

Second mission was to feel the nature by visiting one of Naivasha owls trust an organization that rescue and rehabilitate injured raptors and owls birds to end extinctions of endangered species. We all study how birds of prey be rescued and rehabilitated then finally released when they are fit and adaptable to the ecosystem.

Global march4elephants&Rhinos 2015

I am justice to wildlife, are you? Kenyans conservationists wake up to stand up and shout out for the threatening poaching menace to our magnificent and iconic Elephants and Rhinos globally. At this moment northern white Rhinos are toward extinctions only five survive on earth with no hope to multiply, Non of them can breed due to the only Sudan male in Olpejeta conservancy can no longer mate.

Every 15 minutes one Elephant is killed for the high demand of their ivory in the black market. Our animals our heritage our responsibility, Together we can end this extinction our hope while walking 14kms from Nairobi Museum to KWS headquarters Nairobi national park. We marched through the city to passed this message to the global leaders to quickly crash ivory and Rhinos horns market to secure our animals in our beautiful Savannah sceneries, where they deserve to enjoy their lives and multiply with no worries. I heard a nice spoken word from Mzee Nairuko from Narok county saying before formation of global march for these species, we as Maasai are the only conserving these animals, so my message to our Kenyans is to join us in this journey?
Many thanks indeed for all who participate for this march because we will never give up until we win the race.
