Rangers from the Mara Elephant Project (MEP) load bags of seed balls onto a vehicle as they prepare to go disperse them at nearby Nyakweri indigenous forest, large swathes of which have been destroyed for charcoal making in the Masai Mara ecosystem in Narok county (some 281 kilometres west of capital, Nairobi) on February 03, 2021. - Seed balls, an innovation of Seedballs Kenya, comprise a small, black marble-sized pellet that is a single tree seed coated in a charcoal shell to stop it from being eaten by insects and animals, dispersed randomly by hand and remain viable for germination for up to three years on the ground they fall.
