Born Free Foundation Kenya

A strong boma means a quiet night. 🐄

We have built 15 predator-proof bomas for families in Mauthini, Twanthanju, Kathangachini and Kaningo.

Each one started with a visit to the family. Then came the hard work: digging holes, carrying materials to site, and beginning the construction.

For families, that means livestock are kept safe at night. For carnivores, it means fewer reasons for retaliation. People and wildlife both win.

Football and conservation shared the pitch in Mpeketoni, Meru! ⚽🐘

30 players. 150 community members. @kwsmerunpark and Born Free alongside.

The real talk? Bushmeat risks, human–elephant conflict and how communities lead coexistence.

One photo at a time 📸

Our team photographs lions, giraffes and elephants and identifies each one individually: lions by their whisker spots, giraffes by their coat patterns, elephants by their ears.

These records reveal how animals behave and move, and help us work with communities and partners on simple, humane ways for people and wildlife to live side by side.
