One Mara Carbon Project (OMCP) is an ecosystem-level conservation initiative in the Maasai Mara
that works to protect biodiversity, restore degraded lands, and deliver climate, economic, and
social benefits to local communities through access to carbon markets.
Located north and northeast of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, OMCP operates in a savannah
landscape that supports iconic African wildlife and the traditional Maasai herding culture. The
project focuses on reducing emissions and restoring rangelands while improving livestock
productivity through sustainable grazing management. It also aims to conserve biodiversity,
expand alternative livelihoods, strengthen conservancy resilience, and support a thriving tourism
sector.
