Tour Guide:
My name is Karanta Camara and I have worked as a birding guide in Gambia for more than two decades, organising and conducting tours throughout Gambia and Senegal. I am passionate about wildlife and enjoy sharing the rich biodiversity of my homeland with guests from around the world, with a focus on responsible ecotourism and conservation.
We have been involving in a number of conservation efforts across the Country. We do participate in mangrove regeneration projects at Kotu recently. Well before we conducts numerous tree planting exercises to restore the habitat in Kotu Cleaning exercises are staged occasionally to remove any illegal garbages including pollutants. We organise intermittent canalizing at the Kotu Creek to allow it to flow in to the sea. Also we participate at any time fights against illegal hunting across the Country working with different stake holders.
Also took part in International Otter awareness in two occasions representing International Otter Survival Fund to reach out to the local interest groups within the fishing communities across specific or targeted regions for an awareness campaign and this is ongoing programme although is been distrupted by covid pandemic.
Our future plan is to still continue these activities and moreover to make some financial commitments to help the conservation projects and programmes in future.
