We were thrilled to engage 136 participants, including learners, teachers, and school administration heads from all three Environmental Kids’ Clubs (EKC), in an enriching conservation field trip to Murchison Falls National Park.
During the trip, the students got first-hand exposure to the species they’ve been learning about in their environment conservation lessons, including the Uganda Kob, waterbucks, hippos, and more! The highlight was hiking to the top of Murchison Falls, where the Nile forces through a narrow gorge, creating a stunning view of the powerful cascade and misty spray. Participants also learned about the surrounding trees, birds, and wildlife.
A special thanks to Uganda Wildlife Authority for their insightful session at the park’s Conservation Information Centre. Through this experience, teachers and students gained a deeper appreciation of the importance of conservation, with many parents eager to have their children join the Environmental Kids’ Clubs.
We call upon more partners and donors to join us in empowering future environmental champions by supporting conservation education programs. Together, we can protect our planet for generations to come.
