Mara Elephant Project

Mara Elephant Project’s vision is to see the existence of a stable elephant population co-existing peacefully with people across the Greater Mara Ecosystem (GME). For over a decade at MEP, the Sidekick Foundation, Inc.® has been working together with MEP’s CEO Marc Goss, Kenyan stakeholders and a large team of local Maasai to build a better future for their families, Africa and the world.

Together with MEP’s Director of Research Conservation Dr. Jake Wall, who joined in 2019, we have worked to expand MEP’s capability through new renowned scientific programming. MEP is a remarkable force of talented, dedicated and determined men and women working together 24/7 to save elephants, a keystone species, the GME, Kenyan wildlife and wild spaces for generations to come.

By working together, we can ensure that there is co-existence between wildlife and communities and conserve precious habitat that provides livelihoods and income to the people of Kenya
