I work with Fauna & Flora International at the East African branch. We have been partners with the Department of Commercial Crops, Fruits and Forestry (DCCFF) Zanzibar for over 5 years. We have been working towards the conservation of the indigeneous forests and their resident endemic species in particular the Pemba Flying Fox. We have recently returned from an evaluation of progress made and brought back a collection of photographs. Hope you enjoy seeing beautiful Pemba!

Women and Children of Pemba Island
Baskets made by women groups on Pemba Island up for sale!
These women produce these baskets to supplement their family income, we are currently looking for a market for their products as this seems to be the main challenge. Suggestions are welcome! J
Fighting breast cancer is very big in the U.S. and it is noted by a pink ribbon and pink materials — I noted there is much pink in the baskets – perhaps if someone could partner with American breast cancer societies they could make the baskets to be sold for breast cancer here. I will do some research -
