Photos: Kenyan Youth Biodiversity Network
The Kenyan Youth Biodiversity Network (KYBN) has sent us their latest news and photos, which we are delighted to share. The ten binoculars we recently donated have already been put to good use during a bird walk in Karura Forest and other birdwatching expeditions. This optical equipment directly supports KYBN’s citizen science project monitoring bird species in restored mangrove ecosystems. The project aims to document the importance of mangroves for coastal birds and to encourage stakeholders to conserve these vital habitats for the benefit of present and future generations.
The donated materials also help young people learn the art and science of birdwatching — skills that can inspire future careers as local tour guides or complement their academic studies.
We previously donated spotting scopes to KYBN; you can find the report on our initial donation further down this page. More information about KYBN’s activities is available on their website and on their Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels.
We join KYBN in extending heartfelt thanks to all donors and partners who make this work possible!
