Big Life was founded in September 2010 by photographer Nick Brandt, conservationist Richard Bonham, and entrepreneur Tom Hill to address the dramatic escalation of poaching in East Africa. Since its inception, Big Life has expanded to employ hundreds of local Maasai rangers – with more than 30 permanent outposts and tentbased field units, 14 patrol vehicles, 2 tracker dogs, and 2 planes for aerial surveillance. As a result, Big Life has dramatically reduced poaching of all wildlife in the Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro ecosystem. Our teams have facilitated thousands of arrests, including some of the most ruthless and prolific long-term poachers in the region. Big Life’s success sends a strong message that killing wildlife carries swift and serious punishment. Big Life’s ethos: If conservation supports the people, then people will support conservation.
