In the dynamic world of conservation, partnerships are key to amplifying impact and reaching wider audiences. This was evident when representatives from the MpalaLive project, Valerie May and Victor Kasii, paid a visit to our offices during the first quarter of the year to explore potential collaborations between our two organizations.
For those unfamiliar, MpalaLive is a groundbreaking online platform that offers live streams of wildlife from the renowned Mpala Research Centre. This initiative provides an immersive experience, allowing viewers to witness the daily activities of African wildlife in real-time, from majestic elephants to graceful giraffes and powerful lions. Beyond entertainment, MpalaLive serves as an educational resource, offering curated video stories, teacher guides, and lesson plans to foster a deeper understanding of conservation and ecosystem dynamics.
During the meeting, MpalaLive representatives shared insights into their project’s goals and capabilities, while we had the opportunity to showcase our ongoing and prospective conservation initiatives. It quickly became evident that there was significant potential for synergy between our organizations.
As a result, an action plan was developed to leverage MpalaLive’s expertise in documenting conservation efforts. One exciting outcome is the collaboration on developing short documentaries highlighting our work in the field. Additionally, MpalaLive will assist in sharing our activities through collaborative posting, further enhancing our visibility and reach.
Victor Kasii, who joined our team during the Invasive Species school debates programs supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), will play a pivotal role in this collaboration. By documenting these debates and crafting a documentary, we will be able to showcase our work to members, donors, and supporters, thereby strengthening our relationships and impact.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to MpalaLive for their support and look forward to exploring further opportunities for collaboration. Together, we are committed to advancing conservation efforts and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership!
