Panel of Experts
KWWPC's Think-tank and Experts Dear
Friends
KWWPC is setting up a Panel of Experts for the "Kampala
WorldCiC Wetland Preserve and Conservatory" (www.globetree.org/africa/kwwpc)
and invites you to make nominations. Candidates are requested to submit their
CVs and any other details that may elaborate their work on wetlands esp. in
development and management of a Preserve and/or Conservatory..
Self-nominations are most welcomed. Self-nominations often attract people who
sincerely want to be involved and have the time to contribute to the Project.
Selected
experts into the panel will communicate via an email list (yahoogroups) that
will also serve as a forum. In this forum, KWWPC will welcome suggestions
from the Panel on KWWPC's future developments and will also welcome
development of cooperations and projects that can be turned into grant
applications with the expert(s).
KWWPC will be launched on 05 June 2008 during the
WorldCiC 2008 in Kampala and the World Environment Day. It is located between
Kampala and Port Bell and covers an area of about 40 ha (~100 acres) in the
Bugolobi Wetlands.
The Wetland Preserve will be a protected area of
trees that is integrated with a system of constructed wetlands, canals and
ponds. It will serve as a forested wetland habitat for flora and fauna. The
constructed wetland system will help to rejuvenate, rehabilitate and protect
the Bugolobi Wetlands. It will also revitalise its natural function.
The Conservatory will be an educational and reference centre on the arts and
science, and culture of Ugandan wetlands. Children and people of all ages
will be welcomed to help create and visit this recreational 'haven of hope of
the human spirit of cooperation' with artistic expressions and exhibitions of
the wetland environment. School children and bird-watchers can learn and
appreciate how conservation activities can protect and enhance the natural
richness and habitat for wetland flora and fauna.
