The indigenous Samburu people in Northern Kenya are working to protect wildlife, in particular the endangered Grevy’s Zebra. They are supported by the Grevy’s Zebra Trust who employs, equips, and trains locals to monitor threatened species, restore ecosystems, and manage livestock. The success of these initiatives lies in empowering communities to ensure ecosystems are protected sustainably. This approach can serve as an example to other conservation organisations, in an era where many indigenous communities are moved from their lands. The photo series by Natalia Mroz captures the beauty of northern Kenya, the scientific ingenuity of its people, and the value of collaboration for conservation.
