On Tuesday morning, Asuka and Simon Trevor from African Environmental Film Foundation went up to visit the young men from Dupoto Forest Association, and show them the film, Natural Security.

The film raises many conservation issues that affect communities all across Kenya; from the importance of marines and forests, the results of over-grazing, over-fishing, bush-meat hunting, charcoal making, and, also the importance of communities working together to benefit from their natural surroundings.

Once the film was finished they insisted that the film was shown again, and rounded up all of the children, men and women from the nearby bomas. By the end of the second showing there was more than sixty people watching the film.

We've been going up to Dupoto Forest quite regularly recently and are really impressed by the young men there who have taken the initiative to protect the trees and presere the area. As you may have noticed on the front page of maratriangle.org there is a photo advertising Dupoto Forest, and we hope to soon have a website and posters for the Association so that more tourists can find out about their work and visit what is one of the last indigenous Maasai forests.
