African Rainforest Conservancy

I found an interesting website that is dedicated to the preservation of the African Rainforest. The site's address is http://www.africanrainforest.org/. This site was put together by African Rainforest Conservancy or called ARC. This site gives us insight to the dangers that the people of the rainforest face everyday. This site contains articles and videos full of good details about how this organization is educating African people on how to conserve their rainforest.



The Eastern Arc project is a project that covers the nine mountain ranges situated in a half-moon shape in Southern Kenya and eastern Tanzania. This area is the sole habitat to thousands of plants and animals found no where else.



I watched the video about the Lulanda Village Project and loved it. I recommend that everyone watch this video. It is very short, but full of information. It shows how these villagers are learning ways to work together to save their land. I was shocked to see how they have to maintain the fire lines constantly to keep the wild fires from their villages.
