Since its inception, Big Life has expanded to employ hundreds of local Maasai rangers – with more than 30 permanent outposts and tent-based field units, 14 patrol vehicles, 2 tracker dogs, and 2 planes for aerial surveillance.

As a result, Big Life has dramatically reduced poaching of all wildlife in the Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro ecosystem. Our teams have facilitated thousands of arrests, including some of the most ruthless and prolific long-term poachers in the region. Big Life’s success sends a strong message that killing wildlife carries swift and serious punishment.

Our core programs fall into the following three categories. Click through for more information on each:
