George Muigai just sent me these photos of his work at Lake Ol Bolossat, where he is very active in teaching environmental conservation to the local communities and in the schools. George is receiving support from us for his work in 2013.
In Georges's words:
"Lake Ol’ Bolossat is the only natural lake in Kenya’s Central
Province ... the wetland offers a variety of
habitat and hosts a
wealth of bird species, some of them in very
large numbers, others only known to occur in a restricted area of the
world ... this
wetland is facing threat due
to human activities in and around it. One step to achieve a mind of
conservation amongst the communities living around is empowering them
with information about this lake..."
Starting from January 2013, I engaged myself in an awareness
campaign on the biodiversity value of Lake Ol’ Bolossat ... I visited target school pupils and local farmers on the ground as
they move on with their daily livelihood schedule... I gave out copies of a booklet I wrote
in Kikuyu language highlighting the importance of birds in
people’s life to adults, and a translation of the same book in
Kiswahili language to schools..."
Congrats George! Keep doing the good work!
