During the summer of 1995, Friends of Africa International hosted three of Malawi’s park rangers, Elesani C. Zakochera, Mercy Rose Banda and Hector M. Banda (left to right in the photo) who visited Aspen to share environmental challenges and wildlife management experiences with some of the U.S.’s leading environmental educators.
While in Aspen, the rangers helped with interpretitive activities at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, Aspen Mountain and the Maroon Bells, and explained their challenges in promoting the conservation in their country. Their internship at ACES was made possible partially by funding from Friends of Africa International.
