My first blog post was about this group of individuals, and now there is an update on them :)
This post focuses on two trainees in particular, George Okwaro and Theo Way Nana
Both are making strides for conservation
George supported the Mau reforestation project in Kenya, under AWF's direction. George became a full-time employee of AWF after his training. He is responsible for the implementation of the forest conservation in the Mau reforestation project and shows a promising future in conservation.
Theo is an environmental lawyer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a former Congo landscape community officer for the AWF. he was based in the Samburu Landscape for his first 9 months of fieldwork, where he developed land-use plans for Kirimon Group Ranch. He will spend a second 9 month placement in Uganda supporting the implementation of the USAID/Uganda Tourism for Biodiversity program. He as well shows great potential as a conservationist.
