My Work |
Who am I? My name is Mark Jordahl.I am a naturalist and environmental educator who was lucky enough to spend a year in Uganda while finishing my Masters Degree in Conservation Education from Prescott College. In my "real life" I am the Adult Programs Director at Wilderness Awareness School. While in Uganda, I learned more than I ever could have imagined, and fell in love with the people, the wildlife and the landscape. I have created this website in the hopes that the work I did will benefit Uganda and anyone who chooses to learn the lessons it has to teach. I will be continuing to add to this site - pictures, reflections, links, documents, and anything else that seems relevant. The work I did was specifically focused on Murchison Falls National Park, but I believe that many of the lessons I learned apply to conservation throughout the African continent. Enjoy, and feel free to e-mail me with suggestion or feedback. |
This thesis examines the application of community conservation and conservation education programs in the boundary communities around Murchison Falls Conservation Area, factors for success in such programs, and includes recommendations to the park. |
