I. Background of the project

Frequent air environmental surveillances are conducted in the Amboseli region to tackle the necessary data to information of the state of conservation of ecosystems in the area. These data are then plotted on layers permitting, for their overlapping and comparison, to understand the immediate threats to the sites.
This method allows the illiterate populations to be informed and to come up with ways that can be implemented by local communities to protect their environment.
In recent years, a new conflict between the men with wild animals, especially the elephants. The reduction of the living space of the large pachyderms and threats Human depriving more and more of their territories and their migration routes, helping to intensify the struggle for living space between different species. Access to water and the passage of elephants in areas newly populated by humans are often the source of conflict.
This has resulted in some publications reductive devoid of any systematic approach blurring the cards on this sensitive issue and affirming, in the light of actions activists, as elephants are too many in the absence information on the political and historical contexts and Issues of these assertions.

WFE raises this issue from the perspective of development.
What development can we hope for Africa?
It seems illusory to think in terms of industrial development according to an Asian model, for example. The history of Africa and the specific attitudes and approaches did not allow this type of development so far.
The Kenyan list of resources is important enough to allow for the expansion and protection of its specificities.
The water problem is directly related ecosystems: to preserve water, we must protect ecosystems, and thus the wildlife that is.

The overall objective is the maintenance of natural ecosystems and the improvement of socio-economic conditions of the recipient population, both victims and actresses of environmental degradation. By actively engaging, women and young people can express their wishes for specific development and will contribute significantly to the emergence of a responsible civil society and dynamic able to define its own policy and to use existing institutional arrangements , the public sector as the private sector.
Our aim is to reverse the current relationship external speaker / local population and thus a central communities, women, the rising generation and structures that these beneficiaries themselves put in place.
Because they are the first spokesman of their problems and their ancestral attachment to the land.

But without the ability to be heard, it is difficult to promote any action. A person not knowing read or write access can only partially knowledge to understand the geopolitical realities, socio-economic and environmental consequences in the world, and finds himself deprived of the ability to provide its advice and to defend. Par literacy through education, through knowledge as an essential pillar of development, the voice of ethnic minorities will rise a more assertive.
Small peoples must not lapse, in a few generations in poverty areas of urbanization spontaneous megacities Africa. They know how to live in harmony with nature and develop rural models suited to their needs in a profound respect for natural resources.

For this, WFE strengthens women's literacy, and the rising generation.
