I have now walked 10,457km since 2013 , 3480km across East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) 560 miles ( Massachusetts - Washington DC )among others in Kenya . I have reached out to the world through International ,National and Local radio's and TV stations ( BBC , Good morning America, UBC,TBC,NTV).
This walk is geared to uniting local communities, Nations , stakeholdes , governments and wildlife agencies . It's a tough , sacrificial and demanding job however we have made some remarkable strides and we hope to achieve more on the upcoming walks across the African region .
This walk calls for a unified approach in ending elephants poaching and by establishing a grassroot community based conservation approach . Previously communities and corporates have been left out in wildlife conservation matters , I am happy to have some of these corporate now supportingthis cause. We are now preparing for Kampala-Nakasongora -Masindi -Ziwa -Karuma -Machison Falls National Park -Gulu (370Km ) in August/September 2017.
THE ELEPHANT NEIGHBORS CENTRE IS A GRASSROOTS COLLABORATIVE AND PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSING ON ENHANCING THE CAPACITY OF COMMUNITIES LIVING WITH WILDLIFE TO PROMOTE INTER LINKAGES BETWEEN SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS.
