Grumeti Reserves, a 346,000-acre reserve in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, is an area that is at high risk of human-wildlife conflict. In 2011, we were invited to help attract investment for long-term conservation management and in 2012 we helped create annual funding programs to help support the work of the non-profit @grumetifund, which continues to deliver important philanthropic wildlife and community work. The Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching team is considered best-in-class. Wesley Gold, Anti-Poaching Manager at the Grumeti Fund, tells us how to stay ‘one step ahead’ to tackle the poaching crisis in The Difference Vol. 5.

Much of the future sustainability of at-risk conservation areas will rely on community lands surrounding protected areas. Milton Group and Impact Observatory share this viewpoint and are working together to set new innovative standards of land use planning for these future buffer zones. Impact Observatory is an innovative technology company that develops AI-powered, on-demand, geospatial data, mapping changing land use and land cover at unprecedented scale and speed. As part of The Difference Vol. 5, we caught up with Steve Brumby, Co-Founder of Impact Observatory, and Mark Hannel, Machine Learning Scientist, to discover how they are creating positive impact through technological innovation and improved access to data.

On International Whale Shark Day, we are shining a light on Pomene Marine Reserve in Mozambique, home to an exceptional diversity of marine species including whale sharks, manta rays and migratory humpback whales. Supported by a hospitality and real estate development programme, the reserve will implement a holistic approach to environmental, protection, enhancement and social development that includes habitat regeneration, marine and terrestrial anti-poaching and protection, community partnerships and socio-economic uplift. Our marine conservation partner @marinemegafauna, has been conducting research off the coast of Southeastern Africa for the past two decades. Photo by Simon Pierce #MiltonGroup #WorldWhaleSharkDay

Last month, a clan of hyenas from Karingani Game Reserve were moved to the Karingani temporary predator holding facility to be donated to Gorongosa National Park, with a view to returning this species back into the landscape. Hyenas are a critical component to the ecosystem, so this reintroduction will continue to help build upon the biodiversity and conservation of the park. On 13th July, through a collaborative conservation initiative with @anacconservacao, @gorongosapark, @KaringaniMozambique and @mozwildlifealliance, the hyenas were transported by aircraft to their new home in Gorongosa National Park. The clan were given an adjustment period to acclimatise to their new surroundings in a holding facility at Gorongosa before being released into the park. This historic move showcases Mozambique’s dedication to conservation through collaborations to restore and protect biodiversity.

A huge congratulations to @tusk_org for a very successful 23rd annual @lewasafarimarathon, organised in partnership with @lewa_wildlife and @safaricomplc_. After two years of virtual events, participants were back, running through one of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife conservancies and a World Heritage Site. Over the last 22 years, this unique marathon has raised millions of dollars to support Tusk-funded wildlife conservation and community development in Kenya. Last weekend, individuals and corporate teams had the chance to witness the positive impact the marathon is having on the local communities of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and the results of their wildlife conservation efforts first-hand.

We were pleased to see “Invest in our planet” is this year’s Earth Day theme – encouraging individuals, businesses and governments to invest in technologies and practices that can benefit the Earth. Our experiences over the past 25 years have shown that an integral part of ensuring the long-term resilience of our projects is through the adoption of Natural and Social Capital methodologies to measure impact. Through the use of technology and data, we hold the ability to measure these outcomes, which is integral to our collective responsibility to effect change. A previous issue of the The Difference explores a variety of outcomes achieved by our various partners and collaborators. Follow the link in our bio to read Vol. 2. We hope this will inspire and serve as a model for further innovative development programs. Photo: Kurhula Farm, Karingani Game Reserve #MiltonGroup #earthday #earthday2022 #investinourplanet
