Executive Director’s Letter

The International Conservation and Education Fund heads into its fifth year rich in experience from taking our critical education programs to underserved populations throughout Central Africa. The uniqueness of our work is more appreciated with each project but INCEF’s accomplishments would not have been possible without your support and collaboration. Thank you!

Growth has been significant over the past year. We’ve increased our staff in the Republic of Congo from three to nine including three new educators and a projects manager. New projects include a collaboration with UNICEF in Congo on child protection and survival issues of maternal care and sanitation. In 2009 that work will include prevention of HIV/AIDS, violence towards women and children and child trafficking.

We have also signed a new collaborative agreement with ECOFAC (Ecosystèmes Forestiers d'Afrique Central) to work on the periphery of Odzala-Kokoua National Park to educate communities about the reason for the park and its environmental activities, laws governing protected species and, especially, solutions to the complex issues of human/elephant conflict.

With these agreements we’ve been able to diversify our funding base to include internationaldevelopment organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union. In addition, an event we held at the American Embassy’s “Villa Washington” to raise the profile of INCEF in the capital attracted the ambassadors from nearly every foreign delegation in Republic of Congo.

Bonne Année Matoumona, INCEF’s senior journalist in the Republic of Congo, has been instrumental in the development of a national

broadcast initiative – INCEF Roundtables – which he moderates. His guests are members of government ministries and other agencies. The discussions he hosts are introduced by clips from INCEF films on issues of conservation, disease transmission, development and human rights. Reaction to the project’s launch was enthusiastic and came from surrounding countries and from Europe and the United States.

You’ll be reading in these pages of our work on Monkeypox in the Republic of Congo in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta. We’re just about to launch the prevention outreach effort resulting from those productions and we’re also developing an action plan to expand this work across the river into the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Among special recent travels I was able to present INCEF’s work at the IUCN World Conservation Conference in Barcelona where I served on a panel sponsored by National Geographic Conservation Trust. Entitled “Beyond Jargon,” the panel focused on using new technologies to reach general audiences on critical conservation and development issues. During the conference, we were also able to discuss the role INCEF will play in a new Population Health and Environment project in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), USAID and Johnson & Johnson.

David Weiner, INCEF’s director of production, attended a “Forum on Readiness for REDD (Reduction of Emissions through Deforestation and Degradation)in Accra, Ghana from which conversations havebegun with a number of groups under the auspices of Woods Hole Research Center to look into applying INCEF’s methodology to climate change issues worldwide.

As we move into 2009 we continue to be excited by the difference INCEF is making, by the passion of our African colleagues and, especially, by the positive feedback clearly indicating that INCEF’s efforts are increasing knowledge, affecting attitudes and ultimately motivating the changes in behavior that can preserve species and elevate the well-being of the communities we’re serving.

We hope that despite the fragility of today’s financial condition in the U.S. and around the globe, you will continue to be the excellent supporters of INCEF that you’ve been over the past four years.

With warmest regards,

Cynthia Moses Founder & Executive Director

MISSION STATEMENT

The International Conservation and Education Fund (INCEF) is an American 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the concept that a commitment to strategic communication is a prerequisite to positive changes in attitudes and behavior regarding the nexus of wildlife conservation, public health and economic development in underdeveloped and/or overly exploited areas of the planet.

INCEF’s approach focuses on the use of locally produced and disseminated video as an educational tool to foster improvement of the health and well-being of human and wildlife populations. We do this by:

• Building capacity among local media professionals and emerging filmmakers to produce quality digital productions in local languages that are culturally appropriate

• Building capacity of local education teams to disseminate these videos and measure impact • Analyzing impact measurements of our outreach to understand the efficacy of our efforts and to adapt

production and dissemination plans to fit the needs of the communities we serve

GREAT APE PUBLIC AWARENESS PROJECT

The regions of Cuvette Central, Cuvette Ouest, Sangha and Likouala have some of the highest Great Ape populations on the African continent and the human populations have been sharing their habitat with these species for thousands of years. Nonetheless, most people know very little about Gorillas and Chimpanzees. INCEF’s surveys show that most of the population have never even seen a Great Ape.

INCEF’s approach begins by introducing audiences to Chimpanzees and Gorillas.1. Gorillas and Chimpanzees are two discrete films made up of footage donated to

INCEF by scientists working in the region. The films, edited to local music, show audiences what intelligent social animals Gorillas and Chimpanzees are and how much they resemble humans in their appearance and their behavior.

2. Great Apes Are Just Like Us examines our relationship to the Great Apes and the threats to our mutual health and well-being. This film also explains Gorillas’ social behavior in depth; how they help secure the integrity of the forest and why it’s important to preserve them.

INCEF education teams have brought

villagers, throughout the northern regions

of the Republic of Congo, face to face with Gorillas and Chimpanzees –

usually for the first time - through video-centered education

outreach.

WHAT CAN THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE RAVAGES OF EBOLA DO TO HELP:

• INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISEASE • DISPEL SUPERSTITIONS • KEEP OTHERS FROM BECOMING INFECTED?

3. Ebola:Testimony features people whose lives have been directly touched by Ebola epidemics in the Cuvette Ouest region of the Republic of Congo. They tell their stories and discuss prevention, transmission and the social repercussions of the disease. They also provide information refuting the widespread notion that Ebola is caused by sorcery or black magic.

4. Understanding Ebola focuses on the subject from a more scientific viewpoint. Expert medical personnel discuss causes, means of infection and prevention.

FOREST ELEPHANT PUBLIC

AWARENESS PROJECT

With support from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s African Elephant Conservation Fund and the International Fund for Animal Welfare, INCEF created a series of films to raise awareness of Forest Elephants. Consistent with our desire to be as up-to-date as possible, we are remaking the film, Human-Elephant Conflict, to present even more feasible solutions for rural communities with scarce resources.

1. Forest Elephants allows viewers to observe the natural behavior of Forest Elephants as they gather by the dozens at Dzanga Bai (a bai is a natural clearing) in the Central African Republic and Mbeli Bai in the Republic of Congo. The film introduces these amazing creatures to villagers many of whom -- though they live among the elephants -- have never seen them in the wild.

2. The Price of Ivory deals with what remains the number one cause of death among elephants – illegal slaughter for their ivory tusks. The film was designed to provoke discussion on a number of issues: Who gains economically from ivory poaching? What is the risk of punishment? What are the environmental costs? What value would come from providing a protected home for elephants?

Conservation specialists explain how elephants help the environment by dispersing seeds. They discuss the non-sustainability of elephant populations at the rate at which they are still being killed and focus on how living elephants provide the greatest actual and potential profit for the country by attracting tourism.

ARE ELEPHANTS THE ONLY

VICTIMS OF IVORY POACHERS?

WHO PAYS THE PRICE FOR THE LOSS OF THIS

KEYSTONE SPECIES?

WWW.INCEF.ORG Page 7

3. Human-Elephant Conflict takes on what may be the toughest question of all: If we dedicate ourselves to protect and conserve elephants and allow this wide-roaming keystone species to live naturally, how can we also assure the economic health – and safety – of human populations that increasingly occupy nearby spaces? The film opens with a dramatic presentation of human-elephant conflict and goes into detailed descriptions of solutions that have met with a degree of success in keeping elephants away from local villagers’ crops and homes.

4. Justice and Conservation is a recently added film produced in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society. It examines the laws governing the protection of elephants by following a poacher from the time of his arrest through trial and incarceration. The film shows what the poacher’s imprisonment means to his family, health and future.

HUNTING

1. Hunting focuses on the reasons why people hunt in the Republic of Congo. It presents a series of first person testimonies contrasting subsistence hunting with hunting for the commercial bushmeat trade. Bushmeat hunting encourages unsustainable practices: over-hunting, illegal methods and operations that threaten protected species.

2. Alternatives to Hunting focuses on other means of sustenance while raising a number of issues: the threat to wildlife sustainability from hunting, the risk of disease transmission, particularly Ebola, and various options that include raising livestock, growing crops and building fish ponds.

3. Fishing as an Alternative to Hunting is a short and visually lyrical description of the practice of fishing and its effectiveness as an alternative to hunting.

How can we help Congolese

citizens understand the devastating cost

of the commercial

trade in bushmeat and

the threat it poses to

sustainable hunting?

WWW.INCEF.ORG Page 9

INCEF’S HUNTING FILMS ARE BEING PLAYED IN COLLABORATION WITH AN INITIATIVE OF CONGOLESE NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTION AND RESOURCES NEEDED BY RURAL POPULATIONS TO PRACTICE ALTERNATIVES TO HUNTING AND TO DIVERSIFY THEIR LANDS.

One of the most complex issues that INCEF has undertaken has been to respond to the need for Congolese citizens to understand the devastating cost of the commercial trade in bushmeat, to public health and to sustainability.

As INCEF’s production team tackled this issue, it became quickly apparent that it was not enough merely to raise warnings about the detrimental effects that over-hunting was having on the forests. Rural populations need to take action toward the elimination of current commercial bushmeat hunting practices that will leave forests empty of protein sources and of protected keystone species such as gorillas, chimpanzees and elephants for future generations.

INCEF found in most villages that people understood the issues, the laws governing hunting and the repercussions they faced for breaking those laws. However, it was echoed over and over again: What is the alternative? How can we feed and clothe our families or pay school fees? Our work is trying to help find and present solutions to local populations.

MONKEYPOX

INCEF has expanded its work on raising awareness of zoonotic diseases (diseases that pass from animals to humans and vice versa) through a collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta; Poxvirus and Rabies Branch.

Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that occurs mostly in central and western Africa. Although called Monkeypox because it was originally discovered in laboratory monkeys, blood tests later indicated that other types of animals probably had the virus. Monkeypox was reported in humans for the first time in 1970.

The name Monkeypox was given to this virus because it was first found in laboratory monkeys in 1958. However, the disease is often carried by African squirrels, rats, mice and rabbits.

WWW.INCEF.ORG Page 11

INCEF began Monkeypox film dissemination in July 2007 during a suspected outbreak in the Republic of Congo.

The Democratic Republic of Congo production team was in place a year later to discover and document a recent outbreak there.

INCEF produced two Monkeypox films this year for dissemination on a village-by-village basis. They address the causes and repercussions of the outbreak in the Likouala Region of the Republic of Congo in 2003. They also offer a scientific explanation of the disease and explain how to prevent and treat it.

INCEF has also produced two training films for healthcare workers which provide guidance on what symptoms to look for, how to advise populations to keep from contracting the disease and how to give appropriate care.

SALONGA-LUKENIE-SANKURU

LANDSCAPE PROJECT

INCEF’s new Kinshasa, DRC-based production team, made extensive research trips in May to the Lokolama zone and the Monkoto corridor of the landscape and returned a couple of months later for its initial production trips.

A clear indication of the merits of the INCEF approach was demonstrated during the research expeditions by the attendance, night after night, of every person in each village we visited for the screenings of the “Tous Pour le Conservation” film package. Children were quoting key messages of the films for days after and the expectations of the villagers for the films now being produced, which will feature people and stories from their own communities, are highly charged.

INCEF’s project in the Salonga-

Lukenie-Sankuru landscape of the

Democratic Republic of Congo, in

partnership with the World Wildlife Fund and Pact-Congo, is well

underway.

WWW.INCEF.ORG Page 13

In the coming year, as the challenging issues - which range from food security to land rights to climate change - become increasingly important, the INCEF films will be poised to play a critical role in the drive for solutions that are appropriate, comprehensive and effective.

The final number and nature of the productions will take shape, of course, during the editing process but the community discussions during the research period led to a prospective slate of about fifteen films dealing with a range of subjects:

• The state of food insecurity due to poaching, bushmeat hunting, ineffective agriculture and unsustainable fishing and hunting practices

• Issues of land tenure, management and the role of Salonga National Park affecting both conservation and development practices and both Bantu and indigenous populations

• Health crises due to diseases such as Monkeypox and the need to engage in preventative practices

INCEF envisions having a professional media production capability in place in all of the regions it serves. INCEF’s availability to document the recent Monkeypox outbreak was of very real value to the directly-impacted communities and, just as much, to the Centers for Disease Control, whose initiative on pox viruses in Congo has already made extensive use of INCEF materials for both grassroots level public awareness and for professional health care training. The CDC highly regards the productions that would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to produce without its partnership with INCEF.

BOARD oF DIRECTORS

Cynthia Moses, founder, executive director and president, is an award-winning wildlife filmmaker. She saw an urgent need for villagers in the Republic of Congo to have access to culturally appropriate, local language educational films as the outbreaks of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever took a tremendous toll on the Great Ape and human populations.

In October 2004 she launched the International Conservation and Education Fund (INCEF), a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization headquartered in Washington D.C. and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. With a grant from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Ape Conservation Fund, she employed Congolese journalist Bonne Année Matoumona, cameraman Anatole Mafoula, and editor Jéhu Olivier Bikoumou. They produced a series of films that a Congolese education team distributed. The educators went from village to village, in high-risk areas, using a battery-operated projection system.

Moses has seen INCEF’s mission grow into a full-fledged effort to integrate conservation and health issues through video-centered outreach. INCEF now has a full-time production team and a staff of four educators who travel from village to village to disseminate materials. Among other initiatives, INCEF has launched a project in collaboration with Salonga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Also, INCEF is working with the Centers for Disease Control to raise awareness and prevention of Monkeypox throughout the region.

Prior to the founding of INCEF, Moses’s films aired on National Geographic, PBS, the Discovery Channel, NBC and the Arts and Entertainment Television Network, as well as internationally. Before becoming a filmmaker, Cynthia was an associate producer with CBS’s 60 Minutes. She also was as an assignment editor for ABC News’s London Bureau, working on news coverage in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. She earned a master’s degree in journalism from Stanford University and a master’s degree in educational media and technology from Columbia University Teacher’s College. She has served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ivory Coast, West Africa. Moses also worked as a stringer for various newspapers in western Massachusetts while teaching English in the public school system.
