Mara Elephant Project
20% of All Print & Book Sales will be donated to MEP during the month of October
In March 2018 I spent a week on safari with my family at Angama Mara. Tyler Davis (Angama’s Regional Director) invited me to join photographer Adam Bannister on visit to Mara Elephant Project Headquarters. What ensued was an incredible experience with MEP CEO Marc Goss. Since 2011, MEP’s mission is protecting elephants to conserve the greater Mara ecosystem and what I discovered during my visit, was that while poaching is down in MEP’s area of operation, human-elephant conflict is on the rise. In response, I was delighted to produce this video to help raise awareness of the ever growing human-elephant conflict in the greater Maasai Mara region and the innovative techniques and technologies MEP is deploying to mitigate it.
After spending time with Marc and the MEP rangers, I have decided to continue supporting their organisation by donating 20% of the proceeds of all elephant prints during the month of October.
