Over the past 72 hours in Greater Amboseli, rangers tracked elephants near a high-risk area, guided them away from farmland at night, and used aerial surveillance to spot threats early. $17 protects one elephant for a full day. Please help: give.biglife.org/-/XCVMZDUC

Before sunrise, Big Life rangers are already in the field—patrolling elephant corridors, removing snares, and responding to crop-raiding before conflict escalates. Right now, your gift is matched: give.biglife.org/-/XCVMZDUC #Conservation #Rangers

AN ADVOCATE FOR CONSERVATION From herding cattle in Amboseli to practicing law in Kimana, Meitamei Tipape’s journey shows how investing in people strengthens conservation. Read more: biglife.org/program-update…

Hyenas are more than scavengers. They are skilled hunters, disease-fighting cleanup crews, and vital members of healthy ecosystems. This #InternationalHyenaDay, we’re recognizing why these intelligent, misunderstood predators deserve protection too.

When Enkaji Naibor School needed electricity, @energeaglobal and Big Life came together to help. It’s a powerful example of how businesses can support conservation and local communities. Thank you, Energea, for bringing light and hope. 📹: biglife.org/program-update… 🌍 #EarthDay

On Save the Elephant Day, we’re celebrating a powerful milestone: since 2018, not a single elephant has been lost to poachers in Big Life’s area of operation. Thanks to our rangers, local communities, and supporters, elephants here have a safer future. #SaveTheElephantDay

THE CAMERA TRAP’S NEMESIS Opening a camera trap can feel like Christmas morning — or a crime scene. Elephants and baboons destroy 15–20 of ours each year, but these cameras are vital for monitoring wildlife and helping ranger teams protect black rhinos.

Nairrabala’s open plains are full of life. Camera traps recorded elephants, cheetahs, lions, and more. Across 37,500 acres, Big Life’s rangers protect wildlife, support local communities, and reduce conflict. Thanks to Kingspan for making this work possible.

Healthy communities are essential to conservation. In the Greater Amboseli Ecosystem, healthcare can be hard to reach, so Big Life supports healthcare alongside conservation. This #WorldHealthDay, we’re recognizing that healthy communities help people and wildlife thrive.

HELLO OLD FRIEND We’ve known One Ton for nearly 30 years. First seen in 1996, he once fled from vehicles. Today, thanks to protection with local rangers, he moves with calm confidence. Now likely in his fifties, every sighting feels precious.

NEW SCHOOL FOR NOOSIDAN STUDENTS: Thanks to generous support, Noosidan Primary students now have new classrooms and vital facilities—creating a safer, healthier place to learn. biglife.org/program-update… #Education #Maasailand #Amboseli #Conservation #Kenya #CommunityDevelopment

OUTPOST UPGRADE: Lenkiloriti, one of our oldest ranger outposts, has a new lease on life—supporting the rangers working every day to protect wildlife in the Chyulu Hills. Read more: biglife.org/program-update… #rhino #endangeredspecies

Kenya’s cutest canid might also be one of its strangest. Bat-eared foxes use huge ears to detect insects underground, chew more than five times a second, rarely need to drink, and live in family dens across Amboseli. Tiny, specialized, and impossible not to love.

Thank you, @OdysseysUnltd, for helping connect more people to the wonder of Amboseli and supporting its protection. They also funded our new interactive map—explore our work with rangers and communities, habitats, and more: biglife.org/map
