Our Programmes

Conserving Coexistence

The Maasai have lived with wildlife for centuries through their traditional semi-nomadic pastoral lifestyle, and what could be called a ‘culture of coexistence’.

Protecting Open Rangelands

Keeping pastoral rangelands open is core to achieving our vision of a healthy and intact landscape for people and wildlife.

Supporting Livelihoods

Our work with conservation livelihoods involves strengthening the main local livelihood of pastoralism, supporting the development.

Cultural Leadership

SORALO recognises the critical importance of the Maasai cultural values in enabling continued co-existence of people and wildlife within the landscape.

Our Approach

ABOUT SORALO

SORALO is a community-based and community-driven land trust established in 2004. We work in Kenya’s South Rift Valley, a bridge between the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Our primary role is to ensure the integrity of this landscape for the benefit of its people and wildlife.

Where we are

We work in Kenya's South Rift Valley, a Bridge between the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. In this area, local Maasai communities have lived with their livestock alongside wildlife, forests and grasslands maintaining a landscape of exeptional, biological and cultural diversity. This rangeland hosts one of the richest large mammal population on Earth, including both wildlife and livestock.

Growing as an Organization while bringing more Impact.

We work in Kenya’s South Rift Valley, a bridge between the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. In this area, local Maasai communities have lived with their livestock alongside wildlife, forests, and grasslands, maintaining a landscape of exceptional biological and cultural diversity. This rangeland hosts one of the richest large mammal populations on earth, including both wildlife and livestock. This co-existence is enabled primarily by the communal and semi-nomadic form of local land use, which encourages mobility to ensure survival. Today, this is an increasingly threatened landscape, confronting a growing population, a culture in transition, and land use changes that threaten both wildlife and their livestock.
