Wildlife Crime / Anti-Trafficking

Big Life employs Maasai rangers from local communities who work collaboratively with a vast informer network to combat illegal wildlife crime and trafficking. 

Since 2016, our network has spread well beyond our area of operation and now helps the Kenya Wildlife Service to make arrests as far north as Samburu and as far east as the Kenyan coast. It has also led to the confiscation of 5,000+ kg of ivory, permanently removing it from the illegal wildlife trade.

Our Prosecution Officer also monitors all major wildlife court cases to ensure that maximum penalties are pursued, while ensuring that all Big Life witnesses and arresting officers attend the necessary hearings. We also work with local prosecutors to improve the handling of wildlife cases.
