InspIratIonal InnovatIonOn Ol Pejeta Conservancy, livestock ranching and wildlife conservation are not considered mutually exclusive. We are one of the few conservancies that integrate cattle and wildlife management. In fact, we are home to the largest herd of pure Boran cattle in the world! Spend a day with our livestock department and witness the success of the wildlife-livestock integration system.
