Casting bench at the forest

Following the excellent reception of the 15,000 leaflets, sponsored by African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), earlier in the year it became clear the Friends of Arabuko-Sokoke need to continue to enthuse the youth and create young champions around the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest. We brainstormed with the teachers and they felt an educational film would be an ideal next step, which we are doing. Again AFEW are supporting the project being produced by Charlotte D’Olier of Redearth Fixers and today film director Miranda Grant came down to the forest from Nairobi to audition 16 young children. One will be chosen to be the hero of the 10 minute film showing a celebrity around the forest.

Stunning walk in the forest

A few Friends of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest including our chairman Tukero Ole Kina, his wife Lucy, Dr Joekes Goslinga from Holland and Charlie Grumbley from England were privileged to walk in the forest on Saturday 16 September with Mzee David Ngala and KWS researcher Lynn Njeri.

As well as seeing very fresh elephant footprints we saw 26 species of bird, including a Zanzibar Red Bishop and flocks of Clarke’s Weavers, Yellow-throated Longclaw and Red Billed Quelea.
