An insight into a unique community project spanning 4,000 miles.
The Queen Elizabeth National Park is the most visited national park in Uganda, known for its wildlife, including Cape buffaloes, hippopotami, crocodiles, elephants, leopards, Congo lions and chimpanzees. It is home to 95 species of mammal and over 500 species of birds.
This national park is linked with the Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire through a project of cultural exchange and mutual support that focuses on supporting conservation through working closely with and empowering local communities.
The project brings together schools, communities and the staff of the two parks and encourages young people to get involved in conservation and environmental sustainability projects.
In a presentation full of exciting photographs, QECP Ranger Joe Williams will describe how, through engaging with and empowering local communities, the project hopes to encourage more people to see the value in the conservation of wildlife and the local environment.
The talk will take place in Buriton Village Hall at 7:30pm.
All are welcome.
Admission is free with a retiring collection.
