ParkDoctor Tanzania is taking a unique step to connect healthcare with the pastoral communities of Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Through Wilderness Medicine Training, community members-especially the Maasai, gain skills to respond to emergencies involving wildlife, provide basic first aid, and ensure the health and safety of their families and livestock.
Living close to the wilderness brings health risks: attacks by wild animals, snake bites, livestock injuries, and accidents in remote areas. These trainings equip communities with first aid knowledge, risk awareness, and rapid response skills to save lives before professional help arrives.
By collaborating with traditional leaders and respecting local customs, we build community first responders, strengthening health, resilience, and safety in the wild. Healthy and empowered communities form the foundation for environmental conservation and sustainable development (SDG 3 & 11).
