I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!

Hi Helen,
I am shocked to learn that Mathews range is being destroyed in the name of research. I have spent months in the beautiful forest doing research and I feel very sad that things can go this far. What happened to the local leaders who are very keen to protect the forest and wildlife in it? The new Forest Act give local communities powers to stop such research (destruction)if it was no properly sanctioned and the local leaders consulted.
Before looking for help outside, something should be done locally to stop it until such a tie when everyone involved is happy with the research. I know local people can do it!
