Research and Development Community
The Maasai Mara Science and Development Initiative (MMSDI) is community of researchers, NGO´s and representatives of the communities in the Mara.
We perform our research in the Mara due to a research permit given to the MMSDI community members by NACOSTI.
You can become a member of the network in a number of ways. You can read about it here
