The Conservancy employs a robust and multi-faceted anti-poaching strategy to protect its wildlife. Some key elements of their anti-poaching efforts include:
Ol Pejeta has dedicated ranger teams that conduct regular patrols across the conservancy. These patrols cover vast areas and are crucial for deterring poachers and ensuring the safety of wildlife.
