We are delighted to announce that the latest edition of the East African Wildlife Society’s magazine Swara included an article on our project entitled “A New Dawn For Whale Sharks In Kenya”. The article describes the work we do here at the project, the problems we face with the use of traditional fishing nets and how we are trying to overcome this.

Swara is a quarterly magazine owned by the East African Wildlife Society, a non-profit making organisation formed in 1961 following the amalgamation of the Wildlife Societies of Kenya and Tanzania themselves both founded in 1956. It is the Society’s policy to conserve wildlife and its habitat in all its forms as a regional and international resource.

The impala is the symbol for the East African Wildlife Society. “Swara” is the Swahili word for antelope.

Thank you Swara!
