Conservation efforts here have long derived funding from international visitors who go on safari and stay in high-priced lodges in the reserve. The covid-19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the number of foreign tourists, forcing hotels and lodges to close and for the Kenyan government to set aside a recovery fund for area businesses and conservation.
