    Building the Future: Residents of Mwatate Get A Taste Of Wildlife Works REDD

    June 24, 2013 /

    Residents of the town of Mwatate have joined the other Taita County communities who can say, without a doubt, that environmental conservation pays well. The latest project funded by carbon credits, which was officially opened on June 8th, is expected to increase the community’s enthusiasm for taking care of the environment. The project involved building a modern classroom at Mwatate secondary school, which cost approximately $10,000 (Ksh 800,000). Taita Taveta County’s Deputy Governor, Mrs. Mary Digha, was guest of honor at the event and hailed the classroom, which can accommodate up to 40 students, as being in line with the Ministry of Education’s specifications for building classrooms. “The Kenya Ministry…

    All work and no play? Forest Carbon Credit Sales Fund New Phys. Ed. clothing for students!

    June 11, 2013 /

    As busy as we are with all of the various conservation and community projects, it’s not just all work here at Wildlife Works. Physical Education (also known as play time) is an important part of the curriculum that is offered to children who attend our on-site nursery at our Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project. Unfortunately, too often a lack of play clothes hinders the children’s full participation, and dusty school uniforms only add to the parents’ burdens. To increase participation in our P.E. program, each student recently received two t-shirts and a pair of shorts. The clothing was manufactured at our eco-factory, where many of the students’ parents work. Each item…

    Wildlife Works looks to the birds to better understand climate change

    June 7, 2013 /

    As part of a long-term study to determine whether climate change is affecting bird populations, a Wildlife Works team hiked up Mt. Kasigau in Southeast Kenya to monitor the local wildlife and collect data on the many species of native and migratory birds. Wildlife Works has been conducting these expeditions three times per year for the past two years. The thinking behind this, is that global warming could cause birds to abandon their natural homes and move higher up the mountain or perish. Hiking up Mt. Kasigau’s iconic humpback outcrop to conduct a bird monitoring expedition is no simple matter. A small team traveling at a leisurely pace with no…
