Welcome To The Mara Predator Project

The Mara Predator Project is building an identification database of lions in and around the conservancies north of the Masai Mara National Reserve. By tracking individuals, we can identify pride home ranges and population trends. This allows us to apply effective conservation techniques.

We've been updating our site, and it's now possible to browse lions by categories such as mane size and ear tears. 

We are still making tweaks and changes, and so not all links may be working. Don't worry though, we'll have the site complete and fully functional in no time!
