Mission

Vision
To be a leading association in championing campaigns towards sustainable environmental and wildlife conservation.
Justification
There was need for environmental conservation and unity of the people towards such an activity in the community and campus as well.
It is necessary for students with the passion to conserve our environment and other natural resources around such as the Mau water catchment, the Maasai Mara national reserve to realize the full utilization and exploitation of their talents, and since there was no such a club in the entire university, it was resolved that the club be established.
Establishment
Maasai Mara University Wildlife and Environmental Club (MMUWEC) is a club established under the Maasai Mara University Clubs and Societies Act.
It was officially established on the 21st October, 2013 as a successor of the former Narok University Collage Wildlife and Environmental Club (NUWEC) which was established in 2009. The club is also registered under the Wildlife Clubs of Kenya (WCK).
The core mandate of the club since its establishment has been to sensitize the members of the public on the importance of conservation to the wildlife and the environment at large.
