Environmental Conservation Course, Kenya

We are very happy to announce that this year 4 of the 10 spaces available to Ugandans to attend an Environmental Conservation Course have been awarded to volunteer members of the CASP team!

The course is hosted by the Elsamere Field Study Centre established in the memory of Joy and George Adamson (of Born Free fame). The centre provides educational programming for teachers, students and community leaders. See: http://www.elsatrust.com/pages/Elsamere_Field_Study_Centre.vrt

Moses Lyagoba attended this program in 2007 and used his acquired knowledge in forming the foundation for the CASP efforts in Uganda. Now additional members of CASP will benefit from this training in Environmental Conservation!
