Environmental Education in Tanzania

Wild Nature Institute is excited to be rolling out our new giraffe-themed environmental education materials here in Tanzania.  We are distributing a Swahili-English version of our Juma the Giraffe children’s book, a beautiful poster about giraffe physiology (made by David Brown and Chris Barela), an activity book in Swahili (made by Megan Strauss), and more copies of The Amazing Migration of Lucky the Wildebeest books.  Several schools have been using the materials, including the Burunge, Mbwiba and Maswa areas.  Thank you to PAMS Foundation and Friedkin Conservation Fund for distributing the materials to these areas, and for these wonderful photos.

We also thanked Oliver’s and Little Oliver’s camps in Tarangire National Park for providing long-term logistical support for our giraffe work, by giving Juma the Giraffe to all 42 of their Tanzanian staff members!  They can take the books back to their families and communities throughout the country to share the message.  Thank you to Asilia Africa, especially Oliver's and Little Oliver's camps.
