In 1997, scientists from The Field Museum rediscovered this long-lost cave and began investigations as part of a broad collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the National Museums of Kenya. This partnership—the Tsavo Initiative—focuses on crucial connections between humans and wildlife, and between biological and cultural riches and conservation. These linkages, and the dynamic history of Tsavo's environments, are the foundation for collections, exhibits, public education, and training. Through a comprehensive research program, the initiative will put new knowledge of the area's natural and cultural diversity to work for conservation.
