The four guiding principles for the Community
Outreach and Partnership Programme are:
-
Preserving
and enhancing the role of the MMNR as the “Jewel in the
Crown” of Kenya’s tourism, and a major cultural
heritage of the Maasai people
-
Building a
strong partnership and collaboration between communities and MMNR
management in achieving conservation aims
-
Enhancing
community benefits from the MMNR and reducing the costs of
conservation to communities in the Greater Mara
Ecosystem
-
Promoting
conservation-compatible and appropriate land-use and livelihoods in
the Greater Mara Ecosystem
