GAFI Pedal Power
GAFI, in collaboration with Electric Pedals, have created the world’s first pedal-powered field cinema which was piloted during a tour of the Virunga Volcano region of Kisoro and Kabale in Southern Uganda.
GAFI, partnered with the Gorilla Organisation launched a brand new gorilla conservation project in Western Uganda; Africa’s very first pedal powered cinema for gorilla conservation. Conservation documentaries have been shown to school children and communities in some of the most rural villages on the edge of Mgahinga National Park.
Conservation education is now reaching remote communities, villages with no electricity who have never before been able to see films. In the three weeks in October 2010 that the project has been running 11,600 school children, 184 teachers, 110 soldiers and 46 park rangers, all living around the Ugandan gorilla habitats, have seen the films. That is a tremendous outcome for conservation education in Uganda. View “The Bike that helps Save Gorillas“.
