World Environment Day was established by the United Nations in 1972 during the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm, Sweden.
Celebrated annually on 5th June, World Environment Day has grown to become the largest global platform for environmental public outreach, engaging millions of people across more than 150 countries in efforts to protect the environment and promote sustainable development.
The day serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to conserve natural resources, address climate change, halt biodiversity loss, and build a sustainable future for present and future generations.

Conserve Maasai Mara Organization is requesting for support of the annual tree planting project in Maasai Mara Ecosystem.
Conserve Maasai Mara Org has selected 20 schools, 1000 Tree seedlings in each school. Each school has an average of 700 students. The students will not only be helping with the planting of the 20,000 tree seedlings but will have the responsibility to water and nurture the trees to full growth.
Each student will have 2-3 trees that is their sole responsibility. This was the strategy that was adopted by Conserve Maasai Mara organization.
More than just planting trees this fantastic project also teaches school children and the community the responsibility to care for something where they will see real results from their efforts and learn why conservation is so important.
We believe this is a magical experience for young children and will produce the next conservationists in Kenya. The tree seedlings will be planted during this rainy season on March and April and at the end of the high season (tourism) and before the short rains in November the team will visit the schools and the children who have done the best job of caring for their personal trees will be selected to go on safari for wildlife sighting in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
This project does not stop with just planting and caring for the trees. Conserve Maasai Mara is also training the youth to establish a tree nursery to raise seedlings for reforestation, future plantings and provide income to the community for sustainability. When a community such as the Maasai benefit from conservation they will protect and preserve it.

Retaliatory killing through poisoning is catastrophic. This act is unacceptable, unlawful, and will not be tolerated. Poison does not discriminate. It kills lions, wipes out vultures and other scavengers, contaminates soil and water, and poses grave risks to children, livestock, and entire ecosystems. When people resort to poisoning, the damage extends far beyond the original conflict and far beyond a single moment of anger.

Human–wildlife conflict is fundamentally different from poaching. While poaching is often transactional, conflict is emotional—rooted in fear, anger, loss, and identity. Left unchecked, emotionally driven retaliation can lead to local extinction: the silent disappearance of species from landscapes where they once thrived. History has shown us this, and we must not repeat it.

We therefore call upon all conservation partners, communities, and institutions to urgently come together to strengthen sustainable, locally grounded solutions that promote harmonious coexistence.
Initiatives such as the Predator Compensation Fund and other innovative mechanisms must be strengthened and expanded, as they play an important role in cushioning communities against losses. However, compensation alone cannot be an ultimate solution. While it may ease immediate pain, it does not address the deeper structural drivers of conflict.

At the heart of this crisis lie rapid and uncoordinated land-use change, weak and delayed response systems, inadequate investment in prevention, and a growing erosion of trust between communities and institutions. Unless these root causes are confronted decisively and together, cycles of retaliation will persist, placing both livelihoods and wildlife at continued risk.

We are at a crossroads. Human–wildlife conflict is no longer a secondary issue, nor is it less urgent than poaching. It demands equal attention, resources, innovation, and a government institutions will.

We are resetting our conservation approach to meet the realities of this moment. This will be anchored on faster and more visible conflict-response mechanisms, firm enforcement against poisoning and all wildlife crimes, and serious investment in prevention rather than reaction. We will strengthen conservation education to reach our children early—before fear and intolerance take root—and pursue land-use planning that recognises buffer zones and wildlife corridors as living systems essential to both pastoral livelihoods and ecosystem survival, not as sacrifice zones.

Acknowledgement of textbooks donation to Sekenani Comprehensive School donated by the Desai Foundation through Conserve Maasai Mara Organization. Sekenani Comprehensive School highly appreciates this kind gesture. We believe the books will be instrumental in the improvement of academic performance in the school. They say that if you educate children you empower a nation. When children have a well rounded education with access to enriching learning resources, not only will this have positive impact on their life, but often the lives of those around them, including any families they may raise down the road.
