Maasai women breaking barriers in Wildlife conversation

For centuries, Maasai culture celebrated morans, young warriors who proved their bravery by hunting lions, earning them respect and admiration, but times are changing. in Amboseli’s Olgu-lului Conservancy, a new tradition is taking root. A group of Maasai women known as Team Lioness is breaking barriers, stepping into roles once reserved for men, and leading the fight against poaching and human-wildlife conflict. These women are not just protecting wildlife, they’re rewriting gender norms and transforming their community’s approach to conservation.
