 PUMAVision has been a long-time supporter of a wide variety of causes in Africa, as part of our commitment to make the world a healthier, more peaceful and more creative world.

 
To support the preservation of biodiversity within the Maasai tribal lands of East Africa, puma.safe has been endorsing the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (MWCT), a non-profit organization based in Kenya that promotes conservation, education and health services within the Maasai community.

 
As part of this partnership, PUMA was one of the official sponsors of the Maasai Marathon, a group of thirty runners lead by the three Maasai warriors, Parashi Ntanin, Samson Parashina and Martin Sunte, as well as American actor and conservationist Edward Norton. The group - fitted out in PUMA running gear - ran in the ING New York City Marathon in November 2009 to raise money and awareness for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust.

 
The PUMA Maasai Marathon Commemorative T-shirt is available in PUMA Stores in New York City, online at shop.puma.com and at retail locations including Jack Rabbit, New York Running Company, Paragon and Foot Locker with 50% of the proceeds going to the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust.
