Kenya conservation areas evolve to keep Maasai and wildlife together

MAASAI MARA, Kenya: At dawn in a village in Kenya’s Maasai Mara wilderness, zebras rouse themselves and head away from the huts where they like to sleep as protection from lions. Bernard Kirokor, 21, recounts watching an elephant give birth across from his village a few days earlier, showing a video of the mother protecting the newborn, its trunk poking up like a periscope to sniff for danger. “The wildlife are our neighbors and we love them,” he said, as the villagers milked the herd of cattle gathered around their huts.
