COMMUNITY OUTREACH MONTHLY REPORT AUGUST 2014 SUMMARY: One of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s core missions with its Community Outreach Program is to reduce poaching within the Greater Tsavo Conservation Area by exposing communities and especially children to the importance of wildlife and wild places, and encouraging them to become actively involved in wildlife protection. The DSWT uses a variety of tools to raise awareness about wildlife and environment conservation including fully sponsored school field trips, conservation film shows, distributing free tree saplings to public institutions, as well as sustainable support of various community development projects. The DSWT also works closely with the Wildlife Clubs of Kenya to establish Wildlife Clubs in schools within the greater Tsavo Conservation Area.
