| Maasai warrior and trusty dog |
The
next day, on our way to see first hand the farmland and elephant corridor, we
stopped at the meerschaum mineral mines, where Maasai pastoralists take their
livestock to water. Here we met a
local Maasai warrior with his dog, taking a rest and having a drink. We also encountered some zebra with the
same idea.

From
there, we traveled through sprawls of local farmland to a lookout point where
we could see the Endumet elephant corridor. This is where Honeyguide is trying to work with locals to
encourage elephants to migrate instead of trampling farmland. As the photos illustrate, farmland is
expansive and the livelihood of the people depends on crop success. The corridor for elephant migration is
vital for both elephant and human survival and further enlightens our focus question,
“How are humans and nature interconnected?”
