<p>Last week, we officially handed over a fully renovated and
furnished office to the Zodua Land Management Committee (ZLMC) in Garwula
District, Grand Cape Mount County as part of Conservation Agreements negotiated
last year with the Zodua communities to enhance protection of the critical
20,000-hectare Zodua forest and surrounding forests.</p>

<p>Apart from ZLMC office renovation, three Zodua
communities(Gohn, Falie and Kanga) that are part of the conservation agreement
have also received a range of benefits in exchange for the protection of their
forests including conservation jobs (frontline Conservationists), assorted
medical supplies, scholarships and agricultural benefits among others.</p>
