Mara Elephant project

The Mara Elephant Projects mandate is to protect elephants to conserve the greater Mara ecosystem. They approach this by combatting poaching operations, collaring, monitoring and researching elephants, and protecting farmers and elephants across their large dispersal area. We joined the team on an operation to find out how they use their R44 helicopter to gently move herds of elephants out of farms and back into protected areas, as well as their scouts on patrol, checking for snares and poaching activity.
