The African Conservation Fund

Chyulu Hills, Kenya - African Conservation Fund partner Rosemary Groom, who is working on a research project in Maasailand's Chyulu Hills north of Amboseli National Park, has started Environmental and Wildlife Clubs in the local primary school. Boys and girls are learning about plants, birds, mammals, and ecology. Members receive special red sashes, and when they pass subject tests - the photo at left shows recent high-scorers in bird identification and ecology - they receive special badges.  

Writes Rosemary from Kenya: "I really believe one of the only ways to conserve the ecosystem is by educating the next generation . . . this program has made the Environmental and Wildlfie Clubs the most popular thing in the school - its great!" 

African Conservation Fund is proud to be assisting Rosemary Groom with her project, and her extra time spent with local kids - helping to nurture the next generation of conservationists.
