“Knowledge doesn’t generate action; action generates knowledge. We monitor grass growth monthly, but bigger droughts remind us: livestock & wildlife share the same fate in rangelands. Since the late 1980s, Maasai pastoralism shifted from migratory to sedentary life around schools & facilities. The result? Increased erosion and fragile ecosystems.”

Today, on #WorldElephantDay, we join the global community in celebrating one of nature’s most iconic and intelligent species – the African elephant. These majestic animals are not only a symbol of our rich natural heritage but also vital to maintaining healthy ecosystems.
Through scientific research, long-term monitoring, and the National Wildlife Census, we gather accurate data on elephant populations, distribution, and threats. This information guides evidence-based conservation strategies and informs policy to combat challenges such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.
Every elephant counts – and every data point matters. Our work ensures that conservation decisions are grounded in science, partnerships are strengthened, and communities are empowered to coexist with wildlife.

It's #WorldHealthDay
Since 2000, maternal deaths globally declined by 40%! 💙
BUT—progress is slowing, and aid funding cuts mean major threats to lifesaving maternity services in many parts of the world ❌

4 major priority areas to help promote human-wildlife co-existence in Kenya's rangelands
🛡️ Develop capacity of community champions for locally led and socially inclusive human-wildlife co-existence initiatives.
🌱 Empower communities and grassroots institutions through supporting landscape restoration & productive value chains.
🚰 Address water security obstacles to ensure water access for wildlife & people.
🔴 Invest in human-wildlife conflict risk reduction initiatives and early warning programmes while also accelerating the compensation process to support victims when human-wildlife conflict occurs.

The second General Assembly of the MOSAIC project was held yesterday! Time to take a more formal look at the administrative and financial aspects of the project, and to set the overall agenda for 2025 !
Thanks to all our partners for their participation!

Data and Information Engagement in Amboseli, Kajiado
ACC research team engages with Research Assistants on field data challenges such as gaining access to conservancies as well as opportunities within the Amboseli Ecosystem and the entire Southern Kenya Landscape.

Sara Mobsite is our new post-doc researcher at @ird_fr. She is specialised is computer vision and her work in the project will focus on developing deep learning models to predict and detect environmental and health challenges impacting the regions of East Africa and the Amazon.
The MOSAIC team has just completed its first field mission in Brazil, to the 2 Amazon study sites. The mission provided an opportunity to meet the project's key stakeholders and gain a better understanding of the current issues and needs of local populations. #OneHealth

One Health is Landscape Health!
ACC Director @LWaruingi shares lessons and experiences from the Southern Kenya Landscape resilience work that ACC has done over the years - all toward integrating the health of the environment, people, and animals for improved socio-ecological resilience.
The session was held at the National University of Colombia (UNAL) in Leticia.
@MosaicIRD is a multi-site project that is mobilising Open Science to co-design solutions to the crucial challenge of Planetary Health.
It aims to promote the health of local cross-border populations in East Africa and the Amazon by co-producing data and knowledge on the environment, environmental changes, and their impacts on health.

Angela Wanjiku just joined the MOSAIC team at @INRAE_Intl, as a post-doc to work on "Remote Sensing and Spatial Modeling of Large Herbivore Populations and Health in Response to Environmental Changes in the Amboseli Ecosystem, Kenya». She specialises in geomatics and geography
PICTIS is one of the main partners in the MOSAIC project. PICTIS researchers, mostly from Brazil (@fiocruz), are strongly involved in all aspects of the project and have extensive experience of working with local communities in Amazon. pictis.pt/
The first field mission to Kenya was a success !
The team met with the Maasai community to gain knowledge and understand better how droughts affect their health and that of the animals.
Special thanks to the @ACC_Africa
