Community-based conservation programmes have been implemented to address wildlife-human conflicts in various regions around the world. However, their effectiveness varies and is often influenced by local contexts such as cultural practices and livelihood strategies. The research employed mixed-methods, including qualitative interviews with stakeholders and quantitative data analysis from surveys conducted annually across three Maasai communities. Data collection was facilitated through structured questionnaires and focus group discussions. A significant proportion (60%) of respondents reported an improvement in wildlife sightings compared to the baseline year, indicating enhanced protection efforts under community-led conservation initiatives. Community-based conservation programmes have shown promise in fostering a collaborative approach towards wildlife management among local Maasai herders. However, further research is needed to understand long-term sustainability and broader impacts. Policy makers should consider integrating traditional ecological knowledge into conservation strategies to enhance community engagement and effectiveness of such programmes.
