| Détails au sujet de l'organisation d'accueil : | A Rocha is an international nature conservation organization. A Rocha Kenya works out its commitment to environmental action through community development, environmental education, community conservation, scientific research, and work at the Mwamba Bird Observatory and Field Study Centre. Despite the richness and diversity of local habitats in this area, an exploding population and desperately high levels of poverty are putting a huge strain on the delicate relationship between the local people and the surrounding environment. By working with the local communities, A Rocha Kenya (ARK) aims to achieve the long-term conservation of threatened habitats and species in the Malindi-Watamu area. The Arabuko-Sokoke Schools and Eco-tourism Scheme (ASSETS) was set up by ARK in 2001. ASSETS provides community development through eco-tourism to fund secondary school 'eco-bursaries' for local children and also contributes to nature conservation. ARK was formally established in 1999 and opened the Mwamba Bird Observatory and Field Study Centre in Watamu in 2002. |
