27th September 2011 is World Tourism Day. Mara Naboisho Conservancy in collaboration with The International Ecotourism Society - TIES (through Basecamp Foundation Kenya) will be celebrating the World Tourism Day (WTD) 2011 for the first time in Maasai Mara, a tourist hotspot in Kenya.

Annually, Kenya is losing 100 of its less than 2000 lions. A partnership between Basecamp Foundation, DyreParken and Stromme Foundation is working to reverse this worrying trend. To protect Naboisho Big Cats namely lion, cheetah and leopard a partnership agreement with Living with Lions and Mara Naboisho Lion Project has been developed to create a precise understanding of the Naboisho Big Cats.
