Drop In Wildlife Tourism Dents Conservation Funding In Kenya

MARA LODGES, KENYA - DECEMBER 22: A Maasai man keeps watch over his cattle on December 22, 2020 in the Mara North Conservancy, Kenya. Conservation efforts here have long derived funding from international visitors who go on safari and stay in high-priced lodges in the reserve. The covid-19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the number of foreign tourists, forcing hotels and lodges to close and for the Kenyan government to set aside a recovery fund for area businesses and conservation.
