I am an environment correspondent with substantial experience and competence. I have been working with 'The EastAfrican', a regional weekly owned by Nation Media Group and selling in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. Since 2010, I went on my own to do an animal welfare magazine, but I still contribute occasional articles to Daily Nation and 'The EastAfrican'. I have won several awards fo environment/conservation journalists in East Africa but I still feel I need updates on the above-named fields for my news stories, features and analyses
