The The EAWLS and Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF) have been running a joint project funded by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) titled “Monitoring of Wood and Wood Products Trade in Kenya and Tanzania Border Points”. This project started recently and has officially kicked off at three border points (Namanga, Holili/Taveta and Tanga/Lunga Lunga). The project will gather information that will lead to better governance, enforcement of laws and controls of illegal wood and wood products... 
The EAWLS is taking active part in work to evaluate, conserve and improve Kenya’s coast and fishing resources as part of its Marine programme.
Fish is a renewable natural resource and one of the richest sources of protein. Millions of people around the world are dependent on fish for food and livelihoods. Within the Indian Ocean (IO) region, production of fish and related products has increased tremendously due to improvements in fish capture technology and rising demand.
SWARA, the Voice of Conservation in East Africa, will publish a special issue on the surge of elephant and rhino poaching in its October-December issue (2011:04). We look at and behind the latest wave of poaching and ask what is being done and what more could be done. Articles iclude:
Poaching for ivory and rhino horn is on the increase throughout Africa and the lenient punishment for poachers has failed to stop them. In Kenya, many elephants and rhinos have been killed by repeat poachers, often within weeks of their arrest and paying the meager fines that are defined by the law.
EAWLS is happy to welcome two new collaborators who have set up offices in the EAWLS Building on Riara Road, Nairobi, and to bid farewell to a close friend who will venture into a new conservation role.
Got a collection of SWARA magazines going back years that is taking up space in a bookshelf somewhere? Now that the magazine’s issues dating back 40 years are available to members online, why not donate your copies to a school, university or other educational institute and help nurture a new generation of conservationists.
