Meet KWT Ambassadors - Jonathan & Angela Scott

Meet Jonathan & Angela Scott – Kenya Wildlife Trust Ambassadors

The Mara is one of Africa’s most robust ecosystems, yet it’s also fragile. The cats that live here, especially the lions, seem invincible, but they’re not. We know these lions better than some of our friends, but we cannot afford to take their survival for granted. It’s time to learn more about the challenges they face.

~ Jonathan & Angela Scott

Since 2013, Jonathan and Angela Scott have championed and supported the Mara Predator Conservation Programme, KWT’s flagship programme. Through their photographs and television programmes, Jonathan and Angela have raised the profile of the Mara’s big cats and created a global awareness of the dangers facing the survival of big cats in this unique ecosystem.

In 2015, Jonathan was part of MPCP’s community film, Tenkaraki Ilowuarak (Because of the Predators) which provoked interesting discussions with communities on the value of living with predators and has been widely used as an outreach tool during barazas across the Mara (https://vimeo.com/130215446).

They have published 35 books (including a number of children’s books) and their latest project, the Sacred Nature Initiative endeavours to reveal the wonder and beauty of our world, instilling a sense of awe and concern, to INSPIRE, EDUCATE and CONSERVE.
