Conservation booklets and posters published

George Ndungu, one of our 2014 grant recipients has just printed 500 copies of a booklet and 200 of a large-sized poster on the birds of Lake Ol Bolossat, in central Kenya. This material will be given out for free to school students and local farmers in the area to campaing for the conservation of Lake Ol Bolossat wetland and montane grasslands

Teaching conservation in Ol Bolossat grasslands!

Let me introduce a friend of mine: George Ndungu is a self-taught ornithologist, native to Ol Bolossat area in central Kenya. Ol Bolossat is an important site for conservation: it is one of the few remaining chunks of natural highland grassland, and a wetland supporting large numbers of resident and migratory birds, and many rare species.
Ol Bolossat is threatened by the expansion of human activities, but local people are unaware that they live in place having such an importance for conservation.
George wrote a project to teach about conservation in the schools located in Ol Bolossat area. This is a very important idea, because people will only protect the environment if they know its value. 
I propose to fund George's proposal with a donation that will enable him to work for two months in the local Primary Schools.
Please read George's proposal below
