I am setting up a Panel of Experts for the "Kampala WorldCiC Wetland
Preserve and Conservatory" (www.globetree.org/africa/kwwpc) and
welcome nominations.

KWWPC will be launched on 05 June 2008 during the WorldCiC 2008 in
Kampala and the World Environment Day. KWWPC is located between
Kampala and Port Bell and covers an area of about 40 ha (~100 acres)
in the Bugolobi Wetlands.

The Wetland Preserve will be a protected area of trees that is
integrated with a system of constructed wetlands, canals and ponds. It
will serve as a  forested wetland habitat for flora and fauna. The
constructed wetland system will help to rejuvenate, rehabilitate and
protect the Bugolobi Wetlands. It will also revitalise its natural
function as a bio-filter for cleaning water and air.

The Conservatory will be an educational and reference centre on the
arts and science, and culture of Ugandan wetlands. Children and people
of all ages will be welcomed to help create and visit this
recreational 'haven of hope of the human spirit of cooperation' with
artistic expressions and exhibitions of the wetland environment.
School children and bird-watchers can learn and appreciate how
conservation activities can protect and enhance the natural richness
and habitat for wetland flora and fauna.
