Dear friends, colleagues and partners!

Mara -Meru Cheetah Project team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This year has been eventful, and all the wonderful things we have accomplished this year have only become possible thanks to your all-round support!

We are deeply grateful to the dedicated rangers and especially Mara Cheetah Monitoring and Protection Team (Mara Cheetah Unit), with whom side by side we monitored and protected cheetahs every day in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, to the Management, Wardens, Rangers and Guides of the Reserve and Conservancies for their cooperation.

We sincerely appreciate our partners and colleagues for valuable advice and fruitful cooperation.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to sponsors and donors for their continued comprehensive support, thanks to which we were able to perform various research and conservation activities, including: working in the field all year round, continue our long-term comprehensive study of cheetah behavioral adaptations, monitoring and helping cheetahs in critical situations, training rangers, conducting seminars and workshops for guides and rangers in the reserve and conservancies, carrying out educational work with the local community, explaining the important role the cheetah in the ecosystem and methods of safe grazing of the livestock, conducting interactive lessons with kids in local schools, where players take the role of green warriors, whose activities contribute to the health of the planet in a fun-filled way.

We are very grateful to those who appeared out of nowhere in the field and pulled us out when we got stuck. And our very special gratitude goes to those who donated to our project a new Land Cruiser, and for those who contributed to this. The new vehicle has made our work more efficient.

Thank you to everyone who was with us in sorrow and joy, who believed in us and helped in different ways! We sincerely wish you outer and inner peace, well-being and prosperity, full success, great love and the fulfillment of all your dreams!

Mama Duma and the team
