Lamcop – Marine life conservation
Carole Korshen has been running a Turtle project at Peponi Hotel since 1992. The project began with the translocation of a turtle nest to the hotel grounds for protection, by David Olendo, a Kenyan authority on turtles. Since then the project has been growing.
Through the assistance of other NGO’s such as KESCOM (Kenya Sea Turtle Conservation Committee) and in partnership with government agencies, the project has been dealing with marine life issues in the Lamu archipelago. Adopt a Turtle Nest for US$40 or Adotp a Turtle for US$20.
The project greatly appreciates any contributions that will help assist our marine conservation efforts. Tax deductable donations can be made through Tusk, Charity Aid Foundations U.K. Reg. 803118.
Lamu Donkey Sanctuary
Donkeys are the main form of transportation in Lamu Town and Shela village; an estimated 2,200 donkeys are used for farming, to carry materials and provisions.
However the treatment of these hardworking animals has caused great concern. This has led to the establishment of the Donkey sanctuary in July 1987, situated in the northern part of Lamu; it offers free veterinary services to donkey owners and even a donkey ambulance.
The Sanctuary has contributed immensely to the better health of the donkeys; you have the chance to see how well donkeys are treated as visitors are welcomed Monday – Saturday.
