Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust / Fund

The Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (MWCT) is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 with the mission to protect the ecosystems and biodiversity of East Africa through conservation that directly benefits local Maasai communities. The organization operates in the Privacy and Security industry.

Recognizing the vital role of traditional communities like the Maasai in safeguarding the ecological treasures of their land, MWCT collaborates with Maasai leaders and professional conservationists, including renowned figures such as US Board President Edward Norton. The trust aims to demonstrate that the Maasai community can not only survive but thrive by sustainably managing their ecosystem.

MWCT's dedicated efforts are crucial in addressing the profound threats to the remarkable wilderness and wildlife of Africa’s grasslands, as well as preserving the unique cultural heritage of the Maasai people. The trust's innovative approach seeks to empower the Maasai community and ensure the long-term survival of both the region's natural resources and its indigenous population.
