Generation Awakening, Inc.

We need funds for posters, supplies, transportation costs to reach more schools (as many as we can throughout Tanzania) and to produce a new songs about forests for the school children to learn.

Please help with whatever amount you can - even $10 or $15 will go so far in helping us reach our goal to support our ambassador, Shubert's efforts to inspire the next generation to care for wildlife & become future conservationists!

OATHS FOR NATURE

1. Background.

In Tanzania, like in many other parts in Africa, children are not taught about

wildlife, or nature conservation in general in schools, only later when they

are in secondary schools when they will opt to study such subjects. The lack

of wildlife education, especially the basics is denying the children to

understand the beauty of these amazing species and delays their passion of

becoming future conservators.

2. Response.

In responding to the nature education gap in primary schools in Tanzania,

Shubert Mwarabu, Generation Awakening Tanzania ambassador designed an

extra-curriculum activity where he visits schools for wildlife education and

after the sessions the children take oaths of becoming wildlife ambassadors.

3. The Oath

The oath goes as follows “I ……… (everyone mentions his/her name)

do solemnly swear, to be a good and committed ambassador to

protecting and conserving our natural resources flora and fauna, for

the best of my country, dear god help me.’’ And then the Chant

clapping.

4. The Impact

12 Schools in Three regions reached. 800 students/wildlife ambassadors in

schools have taken oaths. We can reach thousands more with these funds.

5. Conclusion.

We want to reach more schools in Tanzania for awareness, we want to reach

and recruit more wildlife ambassadors in schools, but with limited resources

we ca not, we need transport costs, printing of materials, wildlife posters etc

and accommodation when it is a log travel. We are receiving invitations to

reach ,more schools but we will only be able to respond when we have the

resources. If we can not groom this generation to be passionate about

conservation, then conservation will take another long time to become

successful.

Generation Awakening is proud to support this fundraiser with 100% of funds raised going to support Ulinzi Africa Foundation’s rangers where their goal is simple: To stop the illegal and unsustainable killing of wildlife in Kenya's Tana River and Delta zones.

In the last 3 months alone, our ranger teams have rescued wild animals from traps, arrested poachers and traffickers, and directly saved thousands of animals from being killed for their meat, skins or tusks.

Our continued presence and operations in this area is critical for the wildlife to survive and the communities living nearby to access assistance where possible, but we are overwhelmed and need your support this giving season.

Important species in this area include:

Elephants. The Tana River delta was once an elephant stronghold. Numbers now are estimated to be in the region of a few hundred.

Coastal Topi. The Coastal Topi is an endemic species found nowhere else. Numbers are estimated to range around 3,800 individuals that remain heavily targeted by bushmeat poachers. Our priority to is reduce and, if possible, eliminate the impact of illegal hunting, allowing the species to stabilize and recover.

Dik-Dik. The smallest antelope in Kenya, Dik-Diks pair for life, raising one young for 8-10 months. This points towards what could be an irreversible local extinction should the trend continue; with the species unable to reproduce successfully due to lack of their breeding pair partner, and also immediate loss of the next generation since many of those taken out are gestating females.

This may be the last opportunity to save these species in the wild, failure to which there would be a necessity for massive intervention measures to recover the species. We cannot afford to reach this stage. We have an opportunity to save them today. Will you help us?

YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL:

Ensure that the ranger team members are well nourished and facilitated to traverse over 1 million acres of wildlife habitat

Ensure that wildlife in 3 zones are protected to the best of our ability

Ensure that marine wildlife and terrestrial wildlife are monitored regularly

They are in desperate need of new uniforms and for the next quarter / 4 months of food rations while they're out in the field conducting ranger duties.
