Project Update: May 2002

It is very interesting to see communities participating in wildlife conservation especially in Africa. It is easy to work with them if they can conceptualize conservation benefits and at the same time very difficult if they can not.

I wish to report at this time that my project has yielded. I am now writing my report on the implementation of my project. It was necessary to implement it gradually for it to be successful. We have covered all the activities of the project and as you will find in the report, it has been a task. We planned for an appraisal meeting for next week but we are rescheduling the activity due to weather uncertainties. It has rained so much in the Hirola range area that bringing together community representatives to the meeting is very difficult at this wet season. I will be updating you on my progress with the report.
