Maasai Mara: Climate change threatens one of nature’s greatest spectacles

The great migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest from the Serengeti in Tanzania into Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve is under threat from climate change.

This year only a small fraction of the animals have come looking for fresh pasture in the Mara.

That’s because the annual rains have failed and the usual lush green grass is now dry thatch.

This will have serious consequences for Kenya’s ecosystem.
