Longtime safari guide and conservationist, Kenyan-born Richard Bonham arrives in the Greater Amboseli ecosystem and negotiates the first tourism concession on a Maasai-owned ranch, Mbirikani Group Ranch, to establish ol Donyo Wuas Lodge. The lodge generates employment and tourism-related income for the local community. The community invites Richard to make the ecosystem his home as he begins work to address its growing threats: wildlife poaching, human-wildlife conflict, habitat fragmentation, and much more.
