TRACKING MARTIAL EAGLES

Big Life recently supported WRTI, Kenya Bird of Prey Trust, and KWS as they tagged two young Endangered Martial Eagles in Amboseli, helping track movements and protect critical habitat.

#FunFactFriday: the Red-billed quelea is the world’s most numerous wild bird. It can hatch in as little as 9 days and fledge just two weeks later.

These flocks are sweeping across Greater #Amboseli after recent rains — a sign of healthy grasslands for wildlife and livestock.

[Big Life Foundation @biglifeafrica]

As Greater Amboseli’s green season gives way to dry-season gold, life is still everywhere: elephants gathering in protected wetlands, grazers spread across open plains, and rangers and communities helping keep this landscape connected and resilient.

You did it. Our match challenge has been met.

Your support unlocked thousands of added days of protection for elephants like One Ton — and helps sustain the rangers, communities, and partnerships that make conservation across Greater Amboseli possible.

“Help! There’s a zebra in my toilet!”

In two days, Big Life rangers rescued two zebras from pit latrines — one adult with help from @KWSKenya vet Dr Kariuki, and one foal.

Both survived because community members called us. Trust saves wildlife.

We’re just $10,000 shy of our matching challenge to protect Greater Amboseli’s elephants.

Over the past 72 hours in Greater Amboseli, rangers tracked elephants near a high-risk area, guided them away from farmland at night, and used aerial surveillance to spot threats early.

$17 protects one elephant for a full day. Please help: https://t.co/1wG4Lw973t

Before sunrise, Big Life rangers are already in the field—patrolling elephant corridors, removing snares, and responding to crop-raiding before conflict escalates.

Conservation succeeds when communities lead—and leadership starts in the classroom.

This #TeacherAppreciationDay, we honor Michael Tipaai, whose lessons help Amboseli students understand and protect the wildlife they share. Rangers protect today; teachers inspire tomorrow.

On International Leopard Day, we honor the rangers, partners, and communities protecting leopards across Greater Amboseli—monitoring camera traps, protecting pathways, and reducing retaliation after livestock losses.

Hyenas are more than scavengers. They are skilled hunters, disease-fighting cleanup crews, and vital members of healthy ecosystems. This #InternationalHyenaDay, we’re recognizing why these intelligent, misunderstood predators deserve protection too.

When Enkaji Naibor School needed electricity, @energeaglobal and Big Life came together to help. It’s a powerful example of how businesses can support conservation and local communities.
Thank you, Energea, for bringing light and hope.

On Save the Elephant Day, we’re celebrating a powerful milestone: since 2018, not a single elephant has been lost to poachers in Big Life’s area of operation. Thanks to our rangers, local communities, and supporters, elephants here have a safer future. #SaveTheElephantDay

THE CAMERA TRAP’S NEMESIS

Opening a camera trap can feel like Christmas morning — or a crime scene. Elephants and baboons destroy 15–20 of ours each year, but these cameras are vital for monitoring wildlife and helping ranger teams protect black rhinos.

[Big Life Foundation @biglifeafrica]

Nairrabala’s open plains are full of life. Camera traps recorded elephants, cheetahs, lions, and more. Across 37,500 acres, Big Life’s rangers protect wildlife, support local communities, and reduce conflict. Thanks to Kingspan for making this work possible.
