LWIRO Primates-Maternity Clinic Rehabilitation

Faune Saine Communite Saine! (Healthy Wildlife Healthy Community)

This project exemplified the model of creating community understanding and support in order to save wildlife. While the needs of the community are many the Banovich Wildscapes Foundation has chosen to address the needs of the mothers and infants of the Lwiro community with the rehabilitation of the Lwiro Maternity Clinic. It is critical to the success of the program for wildlife and humans alike that money continues to run through the CRPL so it continues to be seen as a positive force in the community and the people and government continue to be engaged in its success. WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE and with continued support we can gain momentum in aiding the community understanding that in conserving WILDLIFE everyone wins.
