Mangroves – a new PACE resource
Mangroves are amazing and we are excited to have completed a new resource, 36 pages that provide an introduction to mangroves in Africa, created with Lamu Marine Conservation Trust in Kenya. LaMCoT, are based on the Lamu peninsula, a community organisation with thirty years experience (and success) in coastal and marine conservation. The booklet is part of our Living by the Ocean module, which also includes a stunning short film on Mangrove conservation and an Action sheet [...]
Mangrove conservation – new PACE resources
Mangroves are a unique and extraordinary group of plants, that grow on sheltered coastline and estuaries, throughout the tropics, sub-tropics and warm temperate areas. They create an important coastal ecosystem - mangrove forests. In Africa 33 countries border the ocean, and 26 of these have mangrove forest, but they are being lost, degraded or depleted at alarming rates. In some places this is caused by clearing for large scale agriculture and industrial activity and the 'development' and pollution that follows. [...]

Getting kids onto computers!
In May last year we wrote about the Digital Literacy Programme (DLP) at Lewa Wildlife conservancy in Kenya. As a PACE hub the DLP created a PACE channel (containing all the PACE content) on the Kolibri software they use, and made this available to schools, 23 in total, that they support in the area around Lewa conservancy. DLP helped the schools acquire tablets and smart boards, created school intranets, digitised curriculum material and additional content like PACE and loaded it [...]

Do you have a waste management problem in your neighbourhood?
If so, you may get some ideas on how to solve it from the Shela Environmental Residents Group (SERG) in Kenya. Over just a few years the village worked together to transform their beaches, streets and public spaces, from somewhere that people tolerated and suffered into a clean, bright, healthy and happy place that they are proud of and visitors admire. The Shela Environmental Residents Group worked with Lamu Marine Conservation Trust (LaMCoT) and Africa Underwater to create a new [...]

Solving community waste management challenges – a new PACE film from Kenya
Waste management is a problem commonly faced by communities across Africa. Poor waste management impacts on people's health and their well-being, it disrupts ecosystems, and is harmful to wildlife. People know this, but often don't know what they can do as individuals, to solve the problems. We are very proud to have worked with Lamu Marine Conservation Trust, a long-standing Tusk partner, and Africa Underwater. Together they created a new short film documenting a local waste management success story they [...]
