Saving Turtles in Lamu - A podcast
Category: Community, Tagging, Turtle Facts | Date: May 22 2008 | By: admin
When Atwaa first came to see us about setting up a blog about marine turtles in the Lamu archipelago I was captivated by his explanations about the project, his personal story, and the life cycle of the turtle. A local of the tiny island of Lamu just off the north coast of Kenya, his work has enormous impact on the local ancient communities and their views of turtles.
So when he came back to the office for training I recorded his stories to produce this podcast so that you can enjoy hearing about his groups work in his own words. Enjoy!

It is all about interest ! I am Atwaa Salim back home, having finished my bachelors degree from the university of Nairobi. I am now the co-ordinator of Lamu Marine Conservation Trust. Having volunteered for two years, I found the conservation of the natural resourse inclusive of turtles as very important. We are a group of ten people. We have got 4 guards a captain and a crew, with 3 office bearers. We are all from local communities around Lamu.
