Our Mission

The ultimate goal of this site is to generate more interest in conservation of East African habitats, to encourage involvement of undergraduate students in conservation and research, and to foster interaction between students from the United States, Kenya, Europe, and elsewhere.

Check in each week, we will do our best to pump out podcasts, blogs, picture journals, and more to keep you immersed in the Kenyan way of life.
