Save Our Stripes

Fewer than 3,000 Grevy’s zebras remain. Habitat loss, droughts, competition with livestock for grazing and infrastructure developments threaten their survival. We must act now if we are going to save this species.

Grevy’s zebras were once widespread across east Africa but since the 1970s their population has declined by over 75%. Kenya is their last stronghold, and in the north a large proportion of Grevy’s zebra exists outside of protected areas. Sharing the land with pastoralist communities, they live in a remote and unforgiving environment, where limited local knowledge of wildlife conservation and human-wildlife conflict puts this population at risk of isolation and loss.

But we can turn this around.

Marwell Wildlife's Grevy's Zebra Conservation Programme in Kenya is working with remote communities and partners to raise awareness of wildlife conservation, address challenges such as drought and diseases collaboratively, and promote ecosystem restoration and sustainable economies - allowing people and wildlife to live in harmony. Through our dedicated in-country team, we empower local communities to become stewards of their environment. By fostering coexistence, restoring habitats, and reducing human-wildlife conflict, we are turning the tide for this iconic species.

By taking part in Marwell 10K 2025 or donating towards this vital Save Our Stripes (SOS) campaign, you'll be directly contributing to essential conservation work on the ground.

With your support, we can help protect these incredible animals and ensure they thrive for generations to come.
