    Cheetah Sighting

    November 30, 2010 /

    Our rangers see wild cheetahs at least twice a month.  I will probably see them twice in my lifetime. I had my first pass while driving through the sanctuary with the models for the third day of our photoshoot. As if they were waiting for the photographer, ready for their close up, they glided along the edge of the water tank silhouetting their sleek bodies against the morning skyline. Unfazed by our presence within their 15 feet radius, they went about their business of lounging in the dawn’s cool mist before the sun started baking the red Kenyan earth. Magnificent creatures.

    Green Charcoal, a partial solution to natural resource degradation in East Africa

    November 29, 2010 /

    By Jimmy Eggers, Special Projects Director, WWC On a worldwide basis, the destruction or degradation of forest vegetation by slash and burn agriculture and timber harvest is the largest contributor to increased CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.  This is more than manufacturing emissions, machine exhaust emissions, and petrochemical by-product emissions combined.  So by extension, some might say that forest resource misuse is the primary problem to be solved when looking at our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, and thereby improve our climate change outlook. In East Africa, a major portion of forest degradation is done by persons engaged in charcoaling.  Charcoaling is a production process whereby indigenous hardwood trees and shrubs…

    Indigenous Tree Seedling Collection – A Call for Partnership

    November 15, 2010 /

    We would like to let everyone know that twice a year before the rains we will be buying tree seedlings from the Communities. This will provide a small but much needed income to the people who live here and an important stock of hardwood and indigenous trees for reforesting badly degraded areas. The seedlings need to be at least 6 inches long (15 cms) tall and can be presented to us in any container ….old water bottles, old plastic bags, or even a coconut shell. We will collect the seedlings from various collection points around the communities, these collection points and dates will be decided closer to the time. TREE…
