New video: Wildlife conservation benefiting Kenya’s coastal poor

Low-income communities are dependent on a healthy environment for their most basic needs such as clean water, food, fuel and medicine. This 14 minute video shows how families in one of the poorest communities in Kenya, who were over-exploiting their natural resources, are changing their practices and caring for their forests. Why? Because of ASSETS, an eco-bursary scheme which has enabled over 500 students to attend secondary school and involves them and their parents in environmental education. Colin Jackson, Conservation and Science Director of A Rocha Kenya, explains the origins and aims of ASSETS and its significance for some of the most wildlife-rich sites in all Africa.
