My name is Eric Ole Kesoi, Lion Guardians Co-ordinator.
Follow us on TwitterThe Lion Guardians project currently employs 30 Maasai warriors (morans) across 3 Group Ranches in the Amboseli ecosystem – Mbirikani, Eselenkei and Olgulului. The Lion Guardians is a non-profit organisation, and is entirely reliant on donations to fund the project, and pay the wages of these Guardians. You can read more about the work of the Lion Guardians on our website. Here are the Guardians from Eselenkei.
The cost of sponsorship is $100 US a month per Guardian. Your donation will go towards the Lion Guardians’ salaries, equipment, and everything needed to keep the project running. All donations made through Panthera are tax deductible. Here are our Guardians from Mbirikani.
Just think – it is only about $3/day, which can make a huge difference to the lives of both the remaining wild lions in this area, and the local people that share their land with them. These are our Guardians from North Olgulului.

You are doing a brilliant work but when you hear of countries like China buying of politicians for your oil etc. We only hope that somebody is powerful enough to stop it.

Hello Nicki and Bob. Thank you so much for your comment. We are doing what we can to help the wildlife and the people here in Maasailand. The donations and support we get from people like you across the world is invaluable. Thank you, from dry southern Kenya!
What makes anyone think that by destroying nature, they are proving their superiority thus preserving humankind? PLEASE KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT YOU’RE DOING!
