he is the co—founder of nashulai.l reserve. but this small place has a big idea. it's one of the few, maybe the only, community—owned and operated conservancies in kenya. here, community elders, rather than western conservationists, make decisions about how the park is run. translation: we divided our land into three portions. the core area is mainly occupied by wildlife animals. during drought seasons, our animals can also graze on that area with the supervision of elders. the holding area is a free grazing land where members of the conservancy can graze their animals. this is another thing that sets nashulai apart. you can see just how close this herd of wildebeest is to the community, just over there in the horizon. traditional conservation methods often meant removing maasai communities from their land to make way for wildlife. but what this conservancy offers is the opportunity for both to live side by side and support one another. the community is also trying to provide new opportunities. betty is a safari guide
