In Amboseli National Park, Kenya, a small group of Maasai women were chosen to be rangers. Known as Team Lioness, the women patrol the surrounding bushland daily, looking for injured animals and poachers. They also act as a conduit between the women in local Maasai communities and the park authorities. The Lionesses risk their lives to protect wildlife and, in doing so, also challenge traditional gender stereotypes. This is their story.
