East African Wild Life Society
Non-profit Organizations
The Voice of Conservation in East Africa
About us
The East African Wild Life Society (EAWLS) came into being in 1961 through a merger of the Kenya and Tanzania Wild Life Societies (both formed in 1956) and wildlife enthusiasts from Uganda. EAWLS was established as a membership organisation as reflected in its Constitution and is also registered as a Non–Governmental Organisation (NGO) under the NGO Act of Kenya of 1990. EAWLS has been at the forefront of efforts to protect endangered, rare or threatened species and habitats in East Africa. The Society realises the need for stakeholders in tourism and conservation to come together, providing a forum for the regional community to understand and review how to achieve sustainable environmental management and community benefits through tourism. The vision of such a forum would be to come up with policy and best practice recommendations that would support both these sectors.

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬: During your game drive in Mara North—a conservancy adjacent to the National Reserve—you will notice a distinct lack of safari vehicles, a unique advantage of all the conservancies adjacent to the Mara. The few vehicles you do see proudly display the name of their respective camps, except for one: Alex Walker’s Serian. The absence of any inscription on the classic green paint of Serian’s vehicles is a testament to their exclusivity, a mark of their discreet presence.

Chimpanzees Have Learned to Doctor Themselves. Some primates have learned to use rudimentary medicine. In May, researchers observed orangutans chewing up medicinal leaves and then applying the juice to wounds on their skin. Now, a team in Uganda has observed chimpanzees using 13 different therapeutic plants to self-medicate. https://lnkd.in/dCNbpVmU #EastAfrica #Wildlife #chimpanzees Photo: Shutterstock @explorersweb
