The Daraja Wildlife Project was designed to teach the girls of the Daraja Academy in Nanyuki, Kenya (http://www.daraja-academy.org/) how to run a wildlife camera-trapping program, become familiar with wildlife research methods and protocols, and possibly set a course towards careers in wildlife conservation, research, environmental ecology, or even wildlife tourism. Thanks to so much generous support, we have cameras up and running there in the shadow of Mount Kenya. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Peter Barto at [email protected]. Special thanks to those advisors that have been so helpful to the project: Ginny Fifield, Field Researcher for the ACR Mountain Lion Project, Dr. Stephanie Schuttler of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Megan Isadore of the River Otter Ecology Project, and Dr. Thomas Butynski & Dr. Yvonne de Jong of the Lolldaiga Hills Research Programme.
