"Spot the bear!"
Caught in a net with a leaf, no - A MOTH!
The Kipepeo Project.
by Sandra Asubila
Kipepeo means butterfly in Swahili and the Butterfly Pavillion is based in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest.
The Kipepeo Project is a community based enterprise which formed to change the local attitude towards an incentive to the conservation of the forest as well as a means to make a livelihood. The community members export around 50.000 butterfly and moth pupae around the world and the project is an example of how linking conservation and development can be a success.
