The aim of giving them motorbikes is one of the recommendations of the network organized by the Reserve on October 2007. This can allow these stakeholders to reach easily Epulu( headquarter of the Reserve ) for meeting, and run accordingly their own administration.

Really, It is a pleasure and good initiative from ICCN and his partners .Today I am able to reach all corners of my collectivity and control all illegal activities and then denounce ” said Mr. Apuobo one of the chiefs.

The last word of the ceremony was pronounced by Mr. Kebe (Mambasa’s administrator) who appealed all chiefs to collaborate with the Reserve authorities, and safeguard the ecosystem.

We all know that without petrol, these motorbikes cannot work, so we would like your support in terms of petrol. The average consummation is about US $300, 00 for 2 months.

Category: Community Work, Epulu | Date: Feb 05 2008 | By: admin

Epulu, headquarter of the Reserve is nowadays calm .Rangers wives create a woman mutuality named “UMOJA”. In Swahili it means “together”

Absolutely, this is a positive initiative. According to Mama KAVIRA SOMBA who is leading the group, they are planning some activities which should produce income. They’ve started collected money for preparing the International mother day holiday of 08/03/2008. They’re always March, so they need dressing in the same uniform. The sample uniform is there and costs $10 each, and they are 50 wives. Please your contribution must motivate those mums.
