 My name is Steven Onakisotun. I come from eastern Masai Mara. My name is Salatumazuntutu. I come from eastern Mara. The name of the place we came from is Majumoto. Our project is based in different areas of the community. Majumoto, Naikara, Okinyei, and also Siana. Our project is called Mediumi. Towards the end of 2011, our chairman Salatumazuntutu had a vision. He was able to look at the land and dream about the challenges and problems that people are witnessing on their land. Problems of land degradation, pasture degradation, water catchment and destruction, cutting down of trees and laws of cultural failures. So out of this, we came together as a community to find ways of addressing the challenges and bring the vision and ideas of Salatum into practical action. We sat with our community through community outreach meetings and consultation with the elders and we began training community youth rangers and women and elders to create awareness on the challenges that are facing us. We realized that the challenges are basically of two types. Cultural threats, where many of our people are losing vital values that connect our community with nature, and also land threats. We have problems of land selling and of course degradation that I've mentioned. So we developed a community tree nursery to plant medicinal plants, sacred plants, holy plants that are very useful for the community well-being. We also developed a tree beekeeping project for widows to support livelihoods and also educate our people on the role of peace in pollinating woodlands. So far the community tree nursery and the beekeeping project are very very successful in our area. So we came to this conference to bring the message of Medouin, which is a rallying word that we coined to be able to bring our people together. Medouin means don't cut your relationship from nature, your relationship from your ancestors, your relationship from plants and land. So this relationship represents the empirical code that connects a child with peace or her mother. So we the people at the Drume Dumi are the child and our mother is nature. So this is a special empirical code that we are bringing to this conference to tell participants from across the world that unless we are prepared to protect this empirical code so that it doesn't get disconnected, we are going to lose the fight or to address challenges that are happening in our own area and in other areas in the world. So when we are at the conference we got an opportunity to tell a bigger audience that's bigger than our community about ourselves, to introduce ourselves, to make friends and to create partnerships that are going to strengthen our work, that are going to provide us with the opportunities to network, that are going to provide us with the opportunity to find resources, that are going to be able to finance our programs and strengthen the work of protecting nature and protecting our own culture. That is responsible for the long belief or the fact that all the wildlife that are in Masai Mara, another community in Kenya, are located in community land that is inhabited by tribal communities. As the Masai is a tribal community, live side by side with wildlife and in order for us to be able to protect wildlife and sustain the land, we must be able to nurture our culture, protect it and ensure that our next generation do not lose the values necessary for them to be able to continue developing our land sustainably. Thank you, Steven. I still hold, I still have my tradition. Although on this meeting I learn a lot. This is the scientific meeting. And I believe that this is, I can just say, 99% and a half of all those people are well educated. So I have never got to school, I don't know how to do it, right? And before I continue to talk about my community, I just want to ask Steven that I want to ask our ancestors and I want to ask from the words of Meduni of which we believe that don't cut your relationship with nature, don't cut away your family, don't cut away your art, be connected in all different corners of the Nkai. So we have a little prayer to all this meeting and I just want to ask Steven, like Soto, normally we look for East and we ask for the people to come to this global event. That is a mass prayer from Salah Konelein Tutu, who is the cultural leader and chairman of Meduni. And finally I would like to thank the conference organizers for giving us the opportunity to come to this global event. And this opportunity enabled us to network with the international non-governmental organization, government departments from across the world and other donors and we got an opportunity of a large time to be able to network and create partnerships that we believe are going to enable us and strengthen us to be able to carry our message of caring for nature through cultural practices and through cultural values into the future. Thank you so much.
