[[underline]] ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTER IN KENYA [[/underline]]

Mpala Ranch is 40,000-acre tract of grassland and dry woodland in north central Kenya and an ideal sit for interdisciplinary research and training in ecology, evolution, geology, and resource management. It is home to largely intact fauna characteristic of East African savannahs, including lion, leopard, cheetah, two species of zebra, cape buffalo, hippopotamus, giraffe, and many other large and small mammals. Mpala Ranch lies in the middle of the Laikipia Ecosystem, with over 400,000 acres of contiguous properties, most of which actively conserve wildlife. Mpala Ranch also has a small commercial cattle operation, thereby providing important opportunities for research on the interactions of cattle with wildlife, a vitally important issue throughout Africa.
