	Here at Elephant Watch Camp, our goal is to make a difference, not only by helping the elephants, but also the environment, the people, and other wildlife. There are several projects currently underway: Women's Workshop Elephant Conservation Project - Suckling Big Cat Convservation Project Tree Conservation (opens new page) Scholarship Programme (opens new page) Meet Our Students (opens new page)
	Women's Workshop Oria is dedicated to the women of Kenya. At her farm on Lake Naivasha, Olerai House, she is proactive in educating women on birth control and abuse. At EWS, she has organized a Women's Handicraft Workshop. The women belonging to this workshop create magnificient beaded accessories and are helped to market their work. A portion of all guest fees is earmarked to benefit the Women's Workshop. Return to Top
	Elephant Conservation - Suckling For information on the Save the Elephants organisation and research carried out in Samburu, please visit their web site at www.savetheelephants.com Return to Top
Mama 1	Big Cat Conservation The main goal of the Big Cat Conservation project is to identify the big cats (lions, cheetah, leopards) and track where they go in Samburu, Buffalo Springs, Shaba, and the surrounding areas. Cats in this region are very vulnerable as they live in areas inhabited by nomadic people and are constantly coming into conflict with them. To date, 41 individual lions have been identified. At left is "Mama 1," a female in the Koitogor Pride, who had 2 cubs in July 2003, and also adopted the cubs of another lioness, Sempei, and now goes around with 4 cubs. Mama 1 is the main female in the Koitogor Pride. The photo clearly shows the right side whisker spot pattern, which is how lions are identified.
