Briefly describe your organization :	Ramat Wildlife Society is an association of community and private wildlife conservancies in Central Kajiado Rangelands. This is a large area in Southern Kenya that has had the least wildlife conservation investment even though it lies in between the famous Amboseli, Nairobi and Maasai Mara National Parks and conservation areas. The organization was formed in 2021 and has mobilized the formation of conservancies among communities that have transitioned from group ranches to private land ownership. This transition from community land tenure has led to a massive reduction of wildlife in Kajiado as a result of fencing, poaching and closure of traditional migratory routes. The logical way to bring interested parties to this region is to support wildlife conservation through the formation of conservancies.
