De-Snaring Report for November, 2010

Monthly Summary

The number of illegal activities in the Triangle and Mangelete areas have decreased due to the fact that majority of the community members around these areas were busy in their farms as the area received a lot of rainfall. Charcoal burning and logging is still ongoing so the Team needs to keep up pressure in its areas of operation.

The team distributed many tree seedlings in the surrounding community, this being the best time for tree planting as the rains allow for the trees to grow. The Communities really appreciated this gesture as many of them have started to realize the importance of conserving their environment. Matangini Primary school and Kyusiani Primary school benefited from a wildlife video show. The main challenge in this months community work is that the tree seedlings were very few compared to their demand hence the nursery at Kaluku was struggling to keep up with demand.
